i feel so far away. i just keep thinking about mr. campbell getting on the announcements and telling everyone at watterson tomorrow. i feel so far from mrs. lombaro, msgr. hendricks, father jeff, our small class of 28, and everyone else who loved joe at st. brigid. katie mentioned that deacon told us it was just in the odds that we would loose a classmate this year, but you know that all of us couldn't believe it would be a reality. i know there will be a huge gathering of people at st. brigid's for the funeral and joe will be smiling down from heaven. he was one of those people who probably didn't realize how many lives he touched and many of us probably didn't realize how much he touched our lives until he was gone, i know that's how i feel. he just had a calming presence. you just knew he had great faith. you just knew that he truly cared when he asked you how your day was. he was intelligent and unafraid to speak his opinion in govt. he walked around with his head held high and with a little spring in his step. he would nod to ladies politly as any fine gentleman would. he was highly respected by those who shared the field or the stage with him. he truly lived a life worth celebrating and i know he is happy in heaven.
i know we are all praying for his family. for those of you who i told he was an only child, i'm sorry i miss informed you. he was actually like me and has much older siblings.
i'm thinking of all of you: st. brigid of kildare school class of 2000 and bishop watterson high school class of 2004.
