Sending you all my sincerest condolences for your Joey. May he be in peace and love with the Lord.
Life down here is cold, hard, and very short and exceedingly demanding. I know Joe is happy now that he no longer has to deal with those trappings. I hope he has found his savior and will be there to greet you and John when the time arrives. So be glad you got to love land know him as your family did and carry that love with you forevermore. I love and hurt in the deepest reaches of my heart for the loss and your grief, but I promise it will pass. Love to all the Ardine’s. You are an exceptional family.
So sorry to hear that Joe has passed. He had such an amazing energy about him and was one of the funniest guys I ever met. We lost touch over the years, but I’ll always treasure the great times he, Marc, Ed and I had as friends and roommates at Emerson College.
