"Hey little Joe, you and I stood up for Jim and Marcia's wedding too many years ago. You were always such a great and friendly guy at the family gatherings throughout the years. Your sisters are so right, you went much too early, but I guess God wanted you more. May you rest in peace until we all meet again. My deepest condolences to Pam, and your three daughters and all those grandkids and your sisters and their families as well and Ray too. My love to the whole family. May God bring you Peace and Comfort during this difficult time. Jeannie Jablonski"
