Always There
“When you remember me,
Please do not weep.
My body may not be there.
It has chosen to sleep.
I'm not that far away.
My soul lives on,
Looking down, watching over
You and everyone.
And when you feel sad
And life seems so blue,
Just remember
That my spirit has its arms around you.
And on those special days,
Times that you wish I could see,
That cool breeze flowing past you...
Well, that will be me,
So don't be sad.
Have no fear.
God has taken me under his wing,
But I'll always be near.
I still watch you
Every minute, every day.
My love and soul are with you,
And that's where they will stay.”- Emma Etwell

My husband John Palmer and I were sad to learn of the passing of "Joe." As former faculty members at Deerfield Academy, we remember him well as someone on whom we could rely without fail. Time and time again, he was our bus driver to and from school activities. When Joe was on board, we knew we would all be safe, on time, and warmly greeted. He was a kind and generous man--always quick to say "hello" of give a wave when we'd see him around campus.
We are sorry for your loss of a wonderful husband, family member and friend. We know how much he was loved and enjoyed by his colleagues in the Grounds Department and around the staff in general. There will be no replacement for "Joe Joe."
We send our deepest sympathy.
Suzanne Hannay
