I’m sorry to read about Joe’s unfortunate accident. Hopefully, you can find comfort in God’s promise of a time when death will no longer separate us from our loved ones. (Revelation 21:4). For those who have already fallen asleep in death we can look forward to them being awakened to a paradise earth. (John 11: 11-14) Until that time, continue to cherish your fond memories of “Joe.”
To Joe’s family,
You don’t know us but we heard about your son, Joe, and what happened. We just want you to know that we will be in prayer for your family during this difficult time and for months to come. We have lost two daughters, that now reside in Heaven, and are grieving with close friends who just laid to rest their nineteen year old son who was able to help others through organ donation. We never knew Joe but from his picture, he looks as though he was a wonderful human being that never met a stranger. Lifting you up in prayer now and always, we are so sorry!
In Christian Love,
Tom and Carol Gillaspy
Jenee and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your son Joe. Our prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Jehovah knows exactly how it feels to loose a son and because of this we have the promise at John 5:28,29, which he inspired Jesus to write for our comfort. In the weeks and months ahead as you and your family reflect on your fond memories of Joe remembering the words of Revelation 21:4,5 can serve as an additional reassurance of the promises from our loving God Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ.
Joe, you are a true American Hero! Your kind and generous nature allows you to live on in our hearts, and in the lives of others. Rest in Peace, Fair Winds and Following Seas…..
Dave, Andrea and Naomi Dreucsan
