Lori, Josh and Jacob, my heart is aching for you and I am praying constantly for your comfort. Joe, I will miss your grin! When you got tickled about something, your had the best grin that just lit up your whole face....with just a little bit of mischief! That time in Columbus outside the restaurant when you and Roger were holding on to all of our purses and you were grinning like crazy!! I can see it in my head like it happened yesterday!! Oh, and the day we raced home!! I don't remember where we were... but we decided to race each other home...I don't remember who won, but I do remember laughing til my sides hurt!!! And them, there was the day that you took Mallarie and Jacob to the pool when Mal had the cast on her leg and she convinced you that it was ok for her to go in the water!! So many memories....how many days did you come home from work and we were all still sitting at your kitchen table...you just smiled .....I am so very happy that you are my friend and a big part of my life....your gentle soul touched so many and we are lucky. Thank you Joe for all that you are...Enjoy your rest my friend-I know you will be watching with that big grin <3 Love you always.....

Smokin Joe, you will be missed the talks we had about cars. And you had me catching for Josh and I was scared to death of getting hit with his fast ball and you laughed like crazy at me. Then you and I in Columbus with our wives purses. I will see you again someday.

Joe and I enjoyed trying trying to catch fish off this dock while Lori and Pat watched and laughed at us. We have enjoyed many good times Joe but those times are nothing compared to the times we will have when we meet with next time. We love you buddy.

To Cousin Joes' family - though it has been many years I have good memories of going to the Glasers house as a child and enjoying my cousins. I wish your family comfort in all of the memories that have made over the years. Hopefully you will see Dad (Jack). With warmest wishes Monica Thompson-Deal
