[Valerie in Michigan]

Dear Danielle, Christine and Family,

We all knew what a guiding light and special person Joe was to all of us. I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Somehow words are are not enough to describe this man. His spirit which has touched each one of us whether we had met him or not will continue to live on in the survivors who will continue to push forward with his work. I will never forget Joe. My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to Christine and family.
