One week down and many more to go that we will have to live life without Daddy Joe. It has been a trying and amazing week. Trying to watch him suffer, and to watch his wife, kids, and grandkids have their hearts breaking as we didn't want him to suffer and will miss him so much. Amazing to see the fighter that he is. Amazing how our family has responded. Amazing to see how many loved him and admired him. Amazing how the moment he passed...his soul was gone and you could plainly see that he no longer inhabited his body.
Things special to him
Golf stuff
It was so sad to say goodbye to our Daddy Joe last Sunday, Sept 14th. We will miss him so much. His funeral was a day of celebration of his life. He has lived a great life. He has so many that love him. The day of the funeral my grandmother recieved 21 cards in the mail - on that day alone! Because of Ike, we were in no hurry to get home and were able to spend the week as a family telling stories about him, laughing at things he used to do, searching through thousands of pictures for the slideshow, and making scrapbooks of all of his cards.
Please continue to pray for our family as we miss him, and thank you all for the calls, texts, plants, comments, and prayers over the last two months. I am so thankful that he was surrounded by us all, and that he is not suffering any longer.

Amanda, we're so sorry for your loss. We'll be praying for your family and all of the adjustments to come.
I was wondering where you were last week... I'm very sorry for you and your family's loss. Of course you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
I know it has been hard, but now he is in much better hands and it sounds like you had a wonderful family week, even with the sad circumstances!
