Jose also wanted to give a very special "Thank You" to his wife Sue for staying with him through every bump in the road we have hit. Dr. Ahrens, nurses and staff at the dialysis center of Madison, WI., the Oncology department, Dr. Frontier and all the nurses and staff for all their help and kindness. Family and Friends at a time of need, and the rest for getting out of the way. A very special "Thank You" to best friends Marty (Sue) Batz, of Waunakee, WI., for always being there with their help, encouragement and special friendship, sister Mary for her extra support, help and being there especially the last four months. Another big "Thank You" to Agrace HospiceCare for helping the family through Joe's last days with us.

"Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, a resting place along the road, to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, we all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to say... Our destination is a place, far greater than we know. For some the journeys quicker, for some the journeys slow. And when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward. And find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord." We all love you Joe, you will be missed dearly, and always in our hearts.
