On April 23, 2020 our Heavenly Father asked our dad Joseph Hechme to finally come home, Almighty God decided that his borrowed time on this earth was done! And it was time for him to be with the angels of glory in his eternal heavenly peace, he was a man that was loved by his family and treasured by his friends. If you knew Joseph, you’d know he had a heart of gold for his family, brothers and sisters. He grew up during humble times, like his siblings before him he came to America for his children and their future. He loved life, family and food. Like his brothers he loved Watermelon and feta cheese. Man can he slice the perfect watermelon. He was a man among men, fearless, caring and loving.
On March 17 2007 Joseph had a devastating stroke that caused him to loose the functionality of his entire right side and loose the ability to speak and left him bed-bound, he went through 13 years of suffering.
His life should be celebrated for his kindness, humbleness, unselfishness, sincerity, unconditional love to his family and others, loyalty and forgiveness.
We should always remember him for his remarkable smile, his delicious ethnic dishes, his untimely snoozing, his planned Mondays diets, his sweet tooth for the irresistible deserts, etc....
We are asking you to contribute to this fundraiser to keep his memory alive by helping the children of St. Jude Children Research Hospital.
Your generous donation and loving thoughts are a light of hope to St. Jude children and their families. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
It costs a lot for St. Jude to cure a child with cancer using the latest technologies and care. But because of donations, the price for patient families is $0. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything.
Many families come to St. Jude thinking it's like any other hospital. They expect to pay high fees to get their child the best care. They're overwhelmed with gratitude when they learn St. Jude works to save their child's life for free using world-class care.
Your donations make this possible and give parents hope.
