Titone Family,
I had the priviledge of meeting Joe while serving Jury Duty many years ago in Tucson. What a handsome and incredibly wonderful young man I found him to be. He reminded me very much of his father Pete whom I had known many, many years ago.
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.
May you feel the presence and peace of God as He holds you up during this most difficult time. My prayers are with you.
In Christ,
Barbara (Schossow) Welsh <

Please accept my most sincere and profoundly heartfelt sympathies. I share in your saddness at Joe's passing. I thought of him as more of a brother than just a friend. He was a special individual, and will be missed.

We pray for God's Peace for you, Pam, Pete, Melanie, and family, as you mourn the sudden loss of Joey. We can never forget the loss of someone so young...we remember how it feels, each time we think of the time when our niece Peggy Schroeder Wondrasch, Wes and Kathie's daughter, died at about the same age as Joey, leaving two small children and her husband.
May you feel the warmth of God's Love in the days to come.

Pam,

Please accept my sincere sympathies and condolences (however woefully inadequate they may be) regarding your recent loss of Joe.

After losing my son, Cory, just six months prior to his 21st birthday, I know EXACTLY what you are going through and what/how you are feeling.

Even though we cannot fathom the reasons why, just take solace in knowing that God had good purpose and that Joe's in a better place.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Time will help.

I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I didn't know him personally, but knowing the both of you only tells me that he had to have been a very thoughtful and caring person. It just doesn't seem fair that someone so young would be needed "up there" so soon. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
