Message: Oh my, it was so many years ago that I met Joe. I was so happy to see that found his love and had a wonderful family.

I knew him early on just after I graduated from high school. Yes I fell in love with him.. But it just wasn't meant to be. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband (also a veteran) in 1999. We had 5 children, but blessed with only 2 granddaughters. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.
