It is with great sadness that we are sending this message. How ironic that Joe and Mary Ann passed away just 6 months apart. You and yours are in our prayers.
Norma still has memories of Joe's and Johnny's antics together in high school and in the Army. At least no one can say that Joe didn't live life to the utmost.
We're sorry we cannot be with you at this time due to Norma having health battles with pneumonia, anemia, spleen and bone marrow problems.
Stay strong Dee! May God be with you.

We were very saddened to hear of the loss of Joe. We worked with him for a very short time in the purchase of our home. He gave us good advice and shared many beautiful and funny stories about his wonderful family. They reflected how deeply he loved all of you.
He will be greatly missed by the community and all who loved him. He was really a great guy. Our sympathy and prayers are with you.
