Thank you Phil for telling us about Joe. Please pass our condolences to Julie. We have never confronted cancer in this way before and for that we are grateful to you and your family. We understand that Julie will be having her head shaved to help other sufferers and are touched by her ability to give at such a difficult time.

I hope that I have this amount of courage if I’m ever faced with something similar. Joe packed in more living in his young life than most of us do in much longer lifespans.
