Take care-

Susan, Mike and David,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of preparing to lay your dad and our Uncle Joseph to rest. Uncle Joseph was sweet uncle that will be missed during family reunions. I can remember as a little girl and he would be sitting on Grandmas front porch saying he doll baby when he saw me, he always got the biggest hug from me for that. He is in a much better place and is in no more pain and no more oxygen tank following him around. He is now in heaven with Sybil, Big Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Kat, Uncle Howard, Alma Lucille, Don and Cheryl starting their Garnett family reunion.

The holidays will be hard but put your trust and faith in God and he will help you through this.

Love,
Cousin Lisa
