It is impossible and crazy to think how much you and your family have had to go through. It is incredibly sad and I wish somehow I could have done something. Your beautiful girl will be with you... too soon though.

When we lived in Tucson our kids played together almost all the time. Even after we moved to Charlotte we stayed in contact. Our prayers are with the families and especially with Nick, Danielle and Tyler.

Joe's wife was a dear friend to me, and Joe was as well. I could not possibly imagine how his children must feel. I hope he passes peacefuly to the other side.

Joe was one of my husband's best friends. Michele and Steve were both diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of this year and we spent this year together talking, crying, praying and supporting one another. Joe is with Steve and Michele again in heaven and I miss all of you guys. I love you and I'll see you again.
