Dear Family of Joe Centini,
Joe and I were classmates in gradeschool at Sacred Heart on Nevin Street.   Joe was one of the good guys and was always caring and respectful of the girls!   My prayer for you is that you will be comforted by the Lord Jesus Christ through His mercy and blessing upon you as you walk out the rest of your days without your beloved Joseph, until you see him again in Glory!
Shalom,
Maureen (McEvoy) Farrell
