Margaret, I am so very sorry for your loss and my sincere condolences and prayers go out to you and your family. Your strength in the midst of disappointment has been inspiring. Please know your friends at Brandon Woods are here for you!
My thoughts and prayers are with Margaret and the family. Joe and Margaret are an amazing testimony of a loving marriage and the closeness and love of family. Joe loved spending time with his family- especially his grandchildren I will miss Joe bringing Margaret for nails and our talks of the Jayhawks, work, and the fond memory of our trip to a Royals game. I look forward to seeing him again one day when I get to heaven!
Margaret and boys….
Sending my deepest sympathy during this time of sorrow.
My heart is with you and your family.
Margie,
We have only recently learned of this sad loss. Joe was a terrific friend to me during my time in the Navy. Both of you helped Carol and I so much when we first met you as teens who had no business being married and who had never been away from home.
We were grateful to have had a chance to see you after so many years as you always remained in our thoughts and hearts.
We will keep you in our prayers and someday will all be together again with Joe.
