I was so sorry to learn that Joe had passed away. We think of you often when we are in Mt View. He was a good Christian man who is in a beter place, but you will miss him. I am sorry that I was unable to be at the service due to knee surgery. We buried daddy in July at Memorial Park Cemetery. Lots of people that I love are there and hopefully I will see them again.


In Christ,

Carol

Joe was so special to me. He helped me when no one else could and was as much a part of our family as anyone born into it. Wayne and I thought and talked often of both him and you, Carolyn, and wish we had been able to see you more often. We pray you are doing well and will keep you in our prayers for comfort. We rejoice with Joe on his entry into heaven.

Carolyn, Sarah, & Billy. I am so sorry about Joe's passing. I always enjoyed his dry wit and can well remember some of the advice that he gave me through the years such as when you are in church you might sit with your worse enemy and your best friend on the same pew but you are not there for any of them, just for yourself. You will be in my thoughts.

What a blessing "Pepaw Joe" was to me growing up. I love this kind, Godly man who influenced my family with his gentle spirit. Praying for all of you during this time of grief, and rejoicing knowing I'll get to see him for eternity along with the rest of you.

My heart broke when I heard you had gone to be with God. I am so thankful to have had you in my life for all the good times we've shared. You will never be forgotten. I hope you knew how much I love you.
