Years ago I bought an eletronic organ Joe built from a “Heath Kit”. Our granddaughters now have it, they play violins and viola as well. Our prayers are with you.

Very sorry to hear about Joe. Mom has always had a love of family and she cherished the time with Clarabelle and Joe.
Mom won’t be able to be with you but she will keep you in her prayers.
I will also.
