To the Family of Joel
A Memory: God take you into his arms just as You had when I enabled Luther Bradshaw to go back to his family in Arkansas and into your and Albert Bradshaw's Arms. You and your wife did a great Job showing him a work ethic and a connection to his family. I call him My "step son" when he returned to the west coast and he always spoke highly of you and his Arkansas Family. Wish I was able to visit more. Hopefully we will all meet in Gods House.
