  • Joe lived with us when he was 14 years old, he was like a brother to me he helped me a lot. I cherished him as a brother and he knew it, we went out on Sunday afternoons to the GYM and I played baseball and he went off with other friends. I really missed him when he left, as I miss now. Rest in Jesus' arms Joe you deserve it. - Posted by: Marilyn Hendrichs(nee) McLeod (Cousin) on: Apr 29, 2015
