As next door neighbors, we will greatly miss Joe. I can recount the numerous over the fence chats we would have sharing our views on a number of subjects from talking about family/children, cars, traveling, the neighborhood and other topics. Most important, we would compare our “honey do” lists; as both of us kept busy with our various jobs, we yet had to answer to a higher calling when it came to doing things around the house. I will miss my good neighbor and friend,
MaryAnna and Family,
We were so sorry to hear about Joe. It was an honor to have known him. Every time we came into contact with Joe he had a big beautiful smile on his face and such a pleasant way about him. My heart goes out to YOU and the FAMILY during this very difficult time. In times like this I have found comfort in God’s promises recorded at Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” and Romans 8:38-39 “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” I pray that God will keep his loving arms around you and your family. Joe will be missed by all.
