Joe, dit, Mac, Lulubelle, Don, Bill, Fran, Marge, and many others (Saints all) have joined you for a quiet drink, Samba, and a prayer for we mortals who would ask only to have a table reserved for us. Ten years ago, you left this world and you have not been forgotten. We miss you. Almost 60 years ago you signed a picture" waiting, your own, Genie". Our time will come and we hope and pray to be with you in the hollow of the hands of Jesus. With all our love, Ed, Pat and Mickey.
