I'll be posting additional information regarding hotel recommendations and the reception information as soon as I get things confirmed. I just wanted to get this information to you so those of you that can come, can make your travel plans.
As a side note, the girls and I are doing OK. It's much harder than we imagined, but we are leaning on each other, are grateful Joe is no longer in pain and are so grateful for all of you. We are receiving your posts, phone messages, text messages, emails and FB messages. Sorry if we don't respond. Just know how much we appreciate you.
XOXO

For those who cannot attend, do you have a preference for donations versus flowers? So sorry for your loss!

ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss ! My love & prayers to all of you ! I went to High School with Joe and I will always remember his friendship and love :) He will be truly missed. I wish I could attend the funeral, but my youngest son will be graduating from High School that week end. My Love & Thoughts will be with you on that day and always !!

ReplyDeleteDear Joe:
ReplyDeleteGod looked around the garden
and found an empty space.
He looked down upon the Earth,
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
for He only takes the best.
He knew that you were weary,
and He knew you were in pain.
He knew that would never
be well on Earth again.
He saw the roads were getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered peace be thine.

You don't not know me but I have been and continue to be connected on Joe's Blog by a mutual friend, Joyce and Gary Natschke. I have been following and praying for Joe and your family throughout this difficult journey and I am sorry for your loss; however, he is at peace now and free from pain. I am certain that you will someday meet him once again. I continue to pray for your comfort and that Our Lord will give you strength to endure during these difficult days ahead.
