    My mother and I send our condolences. Joe was a childhood friend of my mother, Carole Offley-Brewster. They grew up together and he was my sister Tenita's Godfather. He was truly a nice man. It was a joy to see friends stay in touch over the years. I remember he visited my sister in North Carolina when she had taken ill. It meant a lot to us that he took the time to visit us during our difficult time. We keep you in prayer during this time.
