Doris & Sarah,
So sorry to hear that Joe’s battle has come to an end. As a family, you fought with all the strength you could muster. Your courage, love & devotion is a living legacy – I’m sure Joe is very proud!
Thanks for reminding me to hold my family tight each & every day we are blessed with.
My condolences and continued prayers & support,

Sarah and Doris, Joe was my best friend. Ever. Although life and distance separated the five of us somewhat, the affection for each other never faltered. From Joe’s and mine infamous road trips to our cozy backyard talks on Afton Street.
So many memories instilled on so many people he met! Truly, to meet Shawnna’s “weird beard” was to love him. Miss Vi’s “Joseppi”. He has meant and will continue to be so many wonderful things to so many people.
Although our sense of loss in Joe’s passing is infinitesimal compared to Sarah’s and yours, we hurt. But that hurt will always be surpassed by knowing we were privileged to meet our awesome friend Joe B.
Doris & Sarah,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that y’all were able to be at mom’s 80th birthday. I am glad I was able to see Joe one last time. May God comfort y’all. (((Hugs)))

Doris & Sarah,
I am so sorry for your loss. Joe was just the best man I have ever worked with and had work for me. There are only a limited number of really good men, and Joe was one.
I will keep both of you in my prayers and thoughts. May God hold you close in these difficult days.
Dear Doris and Sarah:
It is never easy to say goodbye to a loved one. We must put our trust in the Lord and know that He controls all things and when asked He will provide the comfort, love and healing power we need to heal. I will miss my brother but I know that his suffering is over and he is with Mom and Dad and we will all be together in the near future. May God bless and keep you.
I wish I could be there, sending my love to you both. Joe was a wonderful man and will be very much missed. Love you both Dianne.
