Re: Joe passed on this evening
I have not logged on for quite a while and was just so saddened to hear of Joe's passing. I only spoke to him once about 4 years ago and he was most helpful to me. If not for this website I would never have had the kind of unbiased information provided to me nor the support.
I always have considered that cancer has a good side in that it allows us to reconcile, redirect, and reaffirm our lives in positive ways. I know Joe was already doing that way back when this website was created.
My warmest thoughts go to Christine and family. My eternal thanks to Joe. He was awesome!
Warmly,
Maria
