Condolences

Where do I even begin?! Joe was my best friend for many many years. Unfortunately, we kind of drifted a part a bit after I got married, moved away for couple years and had another baby.
When I moved back to waterville in 2017, Joe was the first one I ran to go see. But Even though living in the same town, we still didn't see each other much. A young toddler can keep ya quite busy, and you don't see your friends to often. We still talked by phone or text on a weekly basis. But for about 10 years of our friendship of 20 years, we were very close, and there was about 6 years of it, we were inseparable, together every day! We went to garage sales, bought gold lol, did a bunch of odd jobs together. We played darts together, or we'd just sit around and conversed about tons of interesting topics!
We were the bestest of friends! And I will never ever forget all those years we shared!
I'd like to Express my deepest sympathy to his mother and his children! His mother was his rock, and he loved her so much. She was so good to him and she was always there for him. She was right by his side during every hospital stay these last few years. May God Bless her soul.
To all of his children, I want to tell you all.. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for letting your father back into your lives! For giving him a second chance, and for making these last few years of his life, so happy, so blessed and complete! He felt like he actually had a family (his very own) the gratefulness he expressed to me, when you all enjoyed the holidays and birthdays together..omg he was on cloud 9! He mourned the loss of your relationships for all those years. He would cry about it so often. But He never gave up hope though, I am so glad he didnt.
So thank you all again, your father truly and deeply loves each and every one of you!
I'm so sorry that he is gone.
