Re: Joe passed on this evening

I'm so shocked and sad to hear this news. My memory of Joe is how very proud of his "girls" he was. Such love and pride of his 3 special ones. He has given so much and accomplished so much for each of us through his hard work and committment. It does seem so very unfair for this disease to take him. Love and prayers to you Christine and to the girls. Joe will be so very missed. ma
