Yesterday

I had a family member who suffered from significant emotional issues during his elementary school days. Joe was one of the few people who could connect with him and help him re-focus, even when some of the 'pros' couldn't. He was humane and will always be a hero to me and my family. God Rest His Soul, and our prayers to Josie.
