To the Dengler family,
I am so sorry for your loss.  I remember Joe from school.  Never a harsh word, always joking and laughing.  Growing up on “The Hill” you remember all the people you knew way back when, but haven’e seen them for a very long time.  I’ll light a candle for him in church on Wednesday.
