Re: Joe passed on this evening
I took two days off reading posts here and just found out. The loss of Joe (your father) leaves me breathless. Though I never met him in person, through his dedication and care, he is in a small group of men who have truly impacted my life for the positive. In my mind it did not occur we would lose him.
Blessings to your family in this hard time.
Melanie
