    Dear Karen and Family, Mohammad and I are not able to be there in person. Know that we love you all very much and we are so sad for the passing of you husband and father, Joe. We have such fond memories of our visits to see you all over the years and especially the time we all had together at Shereen and David's wedding. We were blessed to have had time to know him. Thanksgiving this past week reminded us of all the things we are thankful for. We are all thankful and blessed to have known Joe and have him in our lives. Our most sincere condolences for your loss of your husband, father and grandfather. Mohammad and Sherry Chaudhry

That said, hopefully they serve as reminders that Jie touched Many Lives during his time here. May you feel his closeness as you celebrate his Love, Guidance and Fellowship. May Angels and Loving Family & Friends Lift You niw & in days ahead. Dave Grandon
