What can I say? I feel so blessed to have gotten the opportunity to know Joe. I remember so clearly the first time I met him, and it didn't take long before he became so dear to me. Through the last 3+ years that I have known Joe, he has taught me numerous things that I will hold on too. I always looked forward to our talks. He would always tease Zac, saying that if only he was younger, then he would be with me! It always made us laugh, much to Zac's dismay. On Friday night, Joe told Zac and me that if he couldn't be at our wedding in person, he would be there in spirit. I know that this is true, and we will play a polka in honor of him. I will miss Joe deeply, but I am happy he is re-united with his loved ones, and no longer in pain. A special thank you to his wonderful family, for sharing this amazing man with all of us. I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
