Dear Stess, Joe Sr., Christopher, Jody, Rosa Lee, Justin, spouses & all families,
Please accept our deepest condolences & sincere apologies for not being medically able to say goodbye to Joe there.
Our families have so many wonderful memories that I hold deep in my heart. Remembering fondly swim parties in Haysville & Derby, birthdays, Holidays, graduations, Cheney & Tablerock Lakes raft & boat rides, etc. etc.
My heart aches knowing the pain of the loss of a soulmate. Know this is hard for Joe Sr. especially after saying goodbye to your dear, sweet, beautiful Charlotte.
I met you Stess, when you were at your lowest, after the loss of your wonderful, beloved father. Remembering the Nancy Lane walks, the dogs & turtles. We have experienced togetherness during the worst of times & the best, thankfully.
Love you Stess to the moon & back,
Please be strong until we meet again,
Wished I was there to hold your hand,
Wished I was there to hug you tightly,
Carol & Mary Estes
