“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal” – From an Irish Headstone
)
I find that I am having a difficult time accepting the reality that Joel is gone – that we will never again see that enthusiastic smile or hear his infectious laugh. The one that made others want to laugh along with him. Over the last few days I have also heard many times “I remember the time Joel….” or “When Joel and I.…”. I heard it at the hospital Saturday night, I heard it Sunday when sharing my disbelief with others and it continues as we come to grips with the idea of a future without him.
This Friday we are going to spend the first part of our meeting remembering the friend whose warm and genuine kindness represented the heart and soul of Alpharetta Rotary.
