My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grieving. There's such mixed emotions because we grieve yet rejoice at the same time. Joe was such an instrumental part of my upbringing at OFCN and because of him and Sue, my life was changed for the better. I love each of you more than you know. Precious memories have been stored in my heart forever. May you feel the peace that passes all understanding from our Lord and Savior in the days and weeks to come.
