I was blessed to know Mr. Joe. I always admired his servant´s heart. His compassion, humility and sense of responsibility to serve others showed his love for God.- "This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one´s life for one´s friends." (John 15:12-13)
My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you face the days ahead. May peace be with you.
Sincerely, Britt and family
