Auntie Joe you were always there for my girls Nicole & Noelle. We are very sad to hear that you left and will miss you greatly.
The donuts on Sundays, the movies or some kind of surprise every Tuesday 💕 you brought love & laughter into our home often. You were like a Grandmother to the girls and sometimes a voice of reason for me much like a Mother.
We are forever grateful to have had you in our lives and will miss you forever ❤️
