Dear Betty and Family:
Joe was a wonderful and caring person who will be remembered as such. He would do anything for anybody when he could and if not he would find a way to help. He is with the Lord now but he still remains within our hearts because those who we love are never really gone. Their spirit and memories live on with their legacy. May you find comfort in your friends and family and in your heart the strength to guide you through this sad time. He will be missed by all that had come in contact with him.
