The last 4 years were the best of my life and am very happy we were able to spend them together. Joe was the best, back years ago and currently. He has left a very large empty spot in the lives of his sons and grandchildren. May the love of God fill and restore as that's what Joe would have wanted. I loved you then, I love you still. Always have and always will.
