Gracia and family:
I am very sorry for your loss. Joe was a great guy always with a wonderful smile. Bob used to love running in the kitchen when we were there to order pasta fazoul or check to see if he could use his Sears credit card to pay for his meal. RIP Joe and keep Bob smiling up there.

Gene,
I was so sorry to read about Joe's death. I know he & Gracia have been away from the Inn for awhile but I can't imagine it without him. He just always wanted to have a good laugh and I can still see him reading the paper in the kitchen waiting for the "on slaught" of customers. I have a lot of good memories from that kitchen and him. He was quite a person. His heart was so sincere and sensitive. I know he is in a very special place with his and your Mom & Dad.
Please express my sincere sympathy to Gracia, Michelle & Molly.
Hang on to all your good memories of your brother and the best to you always. Penny

My father Julian cherished his memories of being uncle to Joe and Gene. Joe seemed to enjoy his free time once he retired from the restaurant and we were glad to see him at recent family events. Best wishes.

Condolences to your family. May you receive comfort from the word of God during this time of loss. Acts 24:15 says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44. Revelation 21:3,4 promises that one day death, mourning, and outcry will be no more. To find out more regarding the hope for the dead visit JW.org and search "death".

It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love; and when it happens , the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your love one can be most difficult to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your love one is up in heaven. The bible, holds a out a much different hope. At Job 14:14,15, it says that the God of comfort Jehovah, yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them alive on earth. I really hope this thought brings family and friends comfort.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
