Peace be with the family
Mary, our hearts go out to you at this time of unspeakable loss. May God strengthen you in carrying this cross.
Dear Mary Lynn\’s and Joe\’s family: Kathy and I were truly saddened to learn of Joe\’s passing. He always had a smile, a kind word, and he lit up a room when he entered. What a great father, husband and friend to many. He will be missed. We\’re so glad you were able to celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary in Ireland together. What a treasured memory this is. We wont be able to be at the visitation or funeral this coming week but our thoughts will be with you all. We\’ve made a donation in Joe\’s name to the Heart Association with the hope it will help in some small way. May God comfort and bless you as you lay Joe to rest. Our love to all, Steve and Kathy
