AS we all gathered at our Moms home to be with our brother the last hours of his life the skys were filled with beautiful flashes of lightning and roaring of thunder. My brother said "God is opening the Gates of Heaven for Joe". I had heard this saying before but tonight it meant everything to me. A sense of PEACE, settled on my heart. You will alway be remembered and loved each and every day. Rest in peace SWEET BROTHER. WE LOVE YOU.
