To Anne, Robyn, Mike, Joe and all the Botaish family,
I just want to express my sincere condolence to you all in the loss of your beloved husband and father. My many memories of Joe are always and only wonderful. He consistently had that inimitable smile on his face, that cheery disposition that would lift you up no matter where you might have been. When I spoke of his passing to my mother she commented on his gracious reception of everyone and his constantly buoyant personality. She gave him her biggest compliment in that he reminded her of my father (Jim Moses) who in so many ways was similar to Joe. It was probably that positive disposition that kept him with us as long as he was. I cannot remember a time when there was not some ailment that was threatening his longevity. And yet he not only outlasted those ailments but he did so in such an honestly joyful manner. He loved his wife, he loved his family, he loved the life that God had given him and he was equally loved as well.
May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort and console you all, as you reflect on His mercy and grace, and as you mourn the loss of your husband and father.
Sincerely,
Paul Moses
