We were so sorry to hear this sad news. We are sending love and prayers to all at this difficult time…….RIP Joe……???
I am so grateful to have recently reconnected with Joe some 50 years after our high school graduation. We’ chat by phone and social media. We had more in common than I’d been aware of. I know mobility was a major restriction for him. Joe, enjoy the freedom, the peace, and the joy we talked about.
I’m so sorry to read this, Shelly. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the blessing of the memories with him sustain you.
We don’t know if you remember us but we remember you and Joe and are so sorry to read of Joe’s death. He was too young. We send our condolences to you, Shelly, and all your family. May the Lord comfort all of you during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Margie and Bob Enright
