Dear Winnie, Suzanne, Jenny, Laura and Fred,
I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Joe. Since hearing about his passing, I have been thinking about him (and you) a lot. I have many wonderful memories of Joe. One think that always struck me, whenever I saw Joe, was how genuine and caring he was. You could tell by his amazing smile what a kind and loving person he was. He was truly special. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Winnie
I am so sorry to hear about Joe. I know all too well how it hurts. Not only did I lose Dixie, but have lost Laura as well. I’m in the phone book and assume my e-mail address is with this. Just let me know if there is anything I can do. May God give you his healing.

To Winnie and to all my cousins,
We wanted to express to each of you our sincere sympathy on the loss of Uncle Joe. He was truly a great guy who was always so happy and smiling. I guess it all stemmed from being genuinely loved by each one of you. To me, Uncle Joe was always a great “gentleman” and will be missed.
Just know that each one of you will be in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
