For the past 10 years, every Christmas Eve I went with Sam's family to Uncle Joe's house. It been a tradition for many years and it will be sad to have to see that tradition end. I could always count on there being an antipasto tray and cannolis. (Have I said that I married into an Italian family?)
In Sam's family it's a tradition to be named after other family members and Sam's brother was named after Uncle Joe. Yesterday was Uncle Joe's wake, and while there I was informed there is at least another 4 people named "Joe" in this big family.
Today is the funeral service and I know there will be many tears, but we are happy he's no longer in pain.
Uncle Joe-
You'll be missed. Christmas will not be the same without you making us eat more and more food!
Love -Stacy
