Dad, I will miss our many laughs& conversations on life, kids, politics,  and Bible study. Thank you for every moment! Your sacrifices,  your time, your prayers! I imagine you walking in the garden of eden with your mom. Love you!

Pastor Joe I will never forget your kindness and heartfelt greetings every time we saw each other. You always had a way of making us feel Gods love when we were around you. God surely Blessed you and those around you. We will see you again one Glorious day.
