Carol……….. We were deeply saddened to read the news of Joe’s passing and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Joe was a life-long friend. We’ve lost so many of those over the past few years, as well as relatives, but it is impossible to imagine the loss of a spouse.
May your happy memories help you find strength, peace, and comfort.

DearCarol and family,
What a sad day to read about Joe. We grew up together on Cabbage Hill. Went through grade and high school together. I always considered Joe to be a friend. He was such a fun person to be around. i never heard him say anything unkind about anyone.
I will offer mass up for Joe on Sunday and light a candle in his memory.
