Dearest Betty and Mike,
Dorothy, Tyler, Zachary and I shower our thoughts, prayers and love to you at this most difficult time on the passing of our beloved Uncle Joe. We will greatly miss his presence here in this rheum with us as we continue to dwell on our journey here. Although we miss him here with us, we are thankful for the presence of where we know he is, standing tall and no longer hampered by the impediments our temporary earthly existence limits us by. He patiently awaits us in our time.
