Patty I'm sorry to hear about Joe. I just now found out about it by reading the obituary. I got to know him in the Bass club, he was a good man. May God bless you all and give you comfort.

I'm sorry for your loss Patti. I had no idea about Joe going home to our LORD till last night at 11:00 pm when a friend called. I know how your heart is broken in half and how painful this is. But we both know we will see him and Dennis again some day. OUR GOD has promise us that. He was such a sweet guy and I know for sure you will miss him sweet lady. God will give you strength. Can you see Joe And Dennis singing and praising the LORD together everyday ! Their well and with new bodies. GOD IS GOOD Joe loved you and his family and he will be missed by all of you and his friends. He left a great impression on everyone how you should live. Joe was a great man.
With sympathy Denise
I am so sorry for your loss. Joe is at home now with our Lord, and as a Christian that is what we all long for. But it leaves the families and friends of those that love us here on earth to mourn the loss of us. That is the hardest part of death I think, but if we remember what God has told us, "Weep at birth and rejoice at death." My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Joe. I have known Joe since I was a very young child. I loved his Mother so much, she was kinda like an Aunt to my brother Rickey and I. Joe will be missed by many.
So sorry to hear about Joe. Everytime Allie come to the Brian Center she wanted to go see Joe. Thank you so much for being so good to her. Just wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you
To a great man who loved his family and God more than anything. He will be missed but he is now so many Angels. Prayers.
