Thank God for the opportunity on Friday to visit and pray with Joe. After we prayed, we talked a little and he then gave himself a complete shave with a chargeable shaver. My son said that he did a great job! No matter what he was going through, he wanted to look his best! Thank God for every moment that I got to spend with Joe because He was such a good man and very encouraging to all. His last words to me was “Good-bye for NOW”! Yes, we will meet again in eternity, however, I will miss him dearly here on earth. </p><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal">Love,</p><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal">Dr. JT</p><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal"> </p><div id="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258yqt94707" class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258yqt8103114959"><div><div style="border-width:1pt medium medium;border-style:solid none none;border-color:rgb(225, 225, 225) currentcolor currentcolor;padding:3pt 0in 0in;"><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal"><b><span>Sent:</span></b><span> Sunday, September 3, 2023 8:05 PM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b> 'NFB of Florida Melbourne Space Coast Chapter List' <nfbf-melbourne@nfbnet.org><br clear="none"><b>Cc:</b> Camille Tate <ctate2076@att.net><br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> [NFBF-Melbourne] In Remembrance with Deep Sadness</span></p></div></div><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal">Dear MSCC Members: </p><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv5769930439ydpfce1181byiv5322821258MsoNormal">It is with deep sadness, sorrow and heartbreak that I announce to all of you the passing of Joe Naulty.
