Nancy and Larry, I am so sorry to hear of Joe´s passing. My mom and dad have talked about you all my entire life. I´ve always been told what a special love you and Joe have and what wonderful friends you all were to them. I wanted you all to know how sorry I am and I will keep you all in my prayers.
