When Craig and I traveled to Mobile in August of 2005 for our friend Frank's funeral, we were immediately embraced by his entire family. Frank's brother-in-law Joe invited us to his house for a fish fry after the funeral. He was a great host and a very sweet man. He thanked us for being friends with Frank and taking care of him during the final 18 months of his life. He showed us family photos and was just a very gentle, loving, kind man. We gave him a small album of photos of Frank, and he was so gracious and told us that he would cherish it, and we knew that he was sincere.
We got a letter from Frank's sister Eloise last week informing us that Joe had passed away in March of this year. We are very sorry to hear this news, and offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends. He was a wonderful man who will truly be missed. We know that he and Frank are now together again, probably sharing a lot of laughs, stories, and reminiscences. Rest in Peace.
With love from Craig and Steph
