2 Jul 2023With my love and so many lovely memories of my brother Joe I’m so thankful God blessed our family to have him as our brother. I pray all of his family will all find comfort of heart and soul in knowing that he is now free of this earth‘s suffering & trials.. basking in the presence of Jesus… welcomed with great joy by mom, dad, brotherJohn, Maria, and all the saints who’ve gone before..rejoicing and cheering him in. Think of this as if he’s taking his ultimate vacation … likely fishing and hunting and all things he loves ..in paradise. And we will soon join him. Our time is but a speck in eternity. Let the Grace of Jesus bring all who love and miss him peace and comfort as we rejoice for him! He lives forever! With Jesus! In paradise!” Praise God! ♥️🙏♥️

2 Jul 2023My Uncle Joe , also my God-father, was a memorable person. I remember his mustache, always above a smile. When I was little, he gave me a white stuffed rabbit with red eyes. I was so happy I named it Thumper…
My sincere condolences to Amy, Alysha and Jolleen as well as all family members. May he rest in peace.
