tribute by Jackie JacksonJoe Joe what can I say ! I really did not know you when we were in HS. But our paths crossed several years later when you became ill. Only you and I know what those times meant to us. You called me your Angel and gave me a figurine of an Angel that I cherish. I think that you are now my Angel !
