Re: Joe passed on this evening

Dear Danielle:
I am sending my sympathies as well. I never met your dad and yet he did such a generous service to me and to so many of us. I am very grateful to him.
Love to Christine and the rest of your family.
Linda

Re: Joe passed on this evening

I had the privilege of meeting Joe,Christine and, I believe it was Danielle, at ASCO 2009 and I was so happy to finally meet the amazing Druthers.

I am heartbroken for Christine and her family and for this community which he fashioned with his own hands

Eternally grateful to have met you Joe and for all you have done to keep people like myself alive. I wish we could have returned that favor.

My sincere condolences to all who knew and loved him,

Marcia

Re: Joe passed on this evening

For Joe...

"
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of ones self; to leave the world a bit better,whether by a healthy child,a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exaltation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded." -RALPH WALDO EMERSON "

Re: Joe passed on this evening

Christine and Daughters, I am so very sorry to have heard this news. Pink Girl just informed me. My heart is so sad and am at a loss for words at the moment. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ceesun
