We are sorry we won’t be able to make Joe’s services. We have been thinking about and praying for Joe and his entire family a lot lately. While we will greatly miss Joe’s physical presence in this place we are both very thankful for all the goodness we received simply by knowing him. That goodness will never leave and likewise Joe will never be far away. We send our deepest condolences to the entire family. Love,
Keith and Nancy
Myra and family, Jerry and were with you in prayer yesterday, and I was so happy to hear that Holly could be there in person. You and Joe were really such wonderful friends and made our move to Florida so much more special and comfortable. We have missed you since the day you left and hope you will be in the area more often in the future. I know your strong faith will help you through this. We send our deepest sympathy and love, Jerry and Melody
Myra, so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. He will be truly missed. So much fun to be around, constantly picking and joking. Thinking of you and the girls. Will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Myra and Family, our thoughts are with you. Joey was always a very special person to me, always laughing and talking. It is sad to think of the passing of my dear friends Joe and Feeney and now Joey. Years and distance has kept us apart but your family has always been in my heart.
