May God bless you as you celebrate the life of your father. Although I knew Joe in a very limited way, he was a lively conversationalist who maintained quiet dignity about his medical conditions. Instead, he talked only about positive things such as his genealogical research, and family times. He also enjoyed a good laugh. More than anything, he shared his love for his family! I pray God lightens your grief and give you peace in knowing you did your best for him.
