Joe, although our time together was brief our bond is forever. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Fly with the Angels. To the entire Freni family I send my deepest sympathies.

Dear Aunty Emma, this is what I would say to your beloved husband if I could:
My dearest Uncle Joe,
I will miss you so very much. Even though we were not related by blood, you were always my favorite uncle. Being the Flower Girl in your wedding created a strong bond between us. We had so many laughs. I enjoyed our good-natured teasing about women's rights so much. Sometimes I would go to your house if I was feeling down and needed a few laughs. I do not think I could have made it through that first year after Stevie died without the Freni family. Thank you and I love you. Donna

Dear Freni family.
Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. I know your father would want you to remember all the good times. Be glad for all the years you had him. Now he is looking down with happiness for eternity.
Love, Debbie, Brandon and Samantha

Dear Freni Family, Dickie and I are very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. It seemed like every family either worked with or had a Freni for a friend. Our sincere condolences to all.
