Uncle Joe,

We only interacted several times, but the times we did I remember you as humorous, kind, and easy-going. Thank you for making my Aunt Bonnie so happy.

So many memories of our time down there with Bonnie and Joe. Nobody made us feel more welcome or glad to have us with them. I'll always remember our extremely competitive Scrabble games and political discussions. Thanks for everything you did for us and the love and acceptance you gave us. Rest Peacefully,and, I'll polish up on those 2 letter words and ones that have a Q in them!
