Dearest Delana & Robert,
It was only recently that I learned of Joel's passing having lost the battle he fought so hard to overcome.
My heart truly goes out to both of you as his loving and devoted parents and I know only too well how grief stricken you were and no doubt continue to be. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that I will be thinking of you often.
Sincerest Condolences,
Jodi & Garry Giertuga
