Farewell Uncle Joe and thanks for all the times we sat around talking about old films, especially your favourite, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. You were loved and you will be missed.

i'm so sorry moejoe. i never know what words to say in such situations, but i'm thinking of you with all my heart. and maybe you can take comfort knowing your uncle was loved while he was here ; that is an incomparable treasure in life. and here is a big virtual hug ; i wish i could give you a real one.
