Dear Mike, Andrea and Families:
We are sending our prayers and concern for you and your families in the loss of both of your parents. Craig and I have both lost our parents too and miss them terribly. We feel so blessed, though, to have had them for so many years, as many don’t get that privilege.
We remember both of your parents so well and how prominent they were in our community as we were growing up. Always so friendly and fun to visit with. May God give you his peace in the wonderful memories and love they have left you with. We hope to be at the funeral in the summer and will look forward to seeing you again after so many years. May God bless you and your families as you deal with the loss of both of them.

Mike & Penny, Andrea & All,
We were so sorry to hear about Joe and are just hearing about your mom also. Parents are hard to lose. You were fortunate to have them for a lot of years, though. I thought the world of your dad. He was a great guy.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Andrea, Mike and families: We all knew the time would come when your folks would leave us for a better place and now we know that they will be spending eternity together. I had the privilege of being your Dads partner for close to 30 years and enjoyed every day standing next to him. We were as close as friends and family could be. He is going to leave a big foot print on the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.
Blessings to you all.

So sorry to learn of the passing of this good man. Joe, you have not cut my hair since the mid 70’s. Yet I always liked coming into the shop and visiting with you, I’m sure you touched a number of peoples lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
