Many, many years ago, God said it was time for our eldest brother, Joe, to come Home to be with Him. As unexpected and hard as it was, God in His Grace knew that He would bring another one of His children - a precious soul, into Joanne's life. She would not be alone. My beautiful sister-in-law would have a man who would love her unconditionally and help her finish raising my two nephews, Garry and David. He would consider them as "their sons.". Through thick and thin, good times and challenging ones as well, that bond of family love could never be broken. It expanded from father, to grandpa, to great-grandpa, too! I just wanted you to know...Joe's family is grateful that God chose YOU, Al, to be that man. A gentler, more kinder person I could not imagine. Thank you, my friend and brother! We will miss you. I am joyful, however, to know that you will be there with outstretched arms to welcome us Home when it's our time! To Joanne, Garry, David and families...my arms are around each of you. I love you all...and Al, I'll be seeing you soon! Millie
