Dear Nellie and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Your family has always been very special to me, and I know how much my mom and dad thought of all of you. I will always remember my days of babysitting with the girls or "sitting" with the phone for ambulance calls when I was in high school. Prayers and hugs to all of you,
Pam and Dave

To The Wright Family,

So sad to hear about Joe's passing. What a wonderful man he was. He took care of many families through out the years and done it with pride and compassion. I can remember when he had the nursing home and my mom worked for him. He always had a smile on his face. May he rest in peace. God Bless You All.
