Re: JOE'S birthday

Happy Birthday to Joe. I sure do miss him. Some of us got to meet him and what a character he was! But he loved all of us and he prayed for all of us and when one of our members became an angel, he cried with us.

Joe can never be replaced. It is taking at least 6 of us to do half of what Joe did to keep the website on track and maintain the group's profile in the breast cancer advocate community.

I love you Joe!
