Well, My Big Brother, it has been a month today since you left us and went HOME. We miss you but I am sure you are doing some WONDERFUL things from where you are and I know that GOD has you fulfilling ALL your dreams. Just want to say how much we love you and always will. I ahve been going to OLD pictures of us from when we were children and I laugh and CRY a lot while looking at them. Keep watching over us and taking care of us as I know you are, Sissy

Good Bye to my bestest friend. He's a very special man that really had the love of Jesus in his heart. I'll miss him so much, he always had time for everyone,and I've never met anyone who knew more about the bible than Joe did. We were very privileged to know him. I pray that we'll all see Him again one day. Love you the mostest Joe

Joe was a wonderful man, he shared his love of his grand kids with us on ever new pic he got, He also shared with me his love for horses,as he knew I have horses and would always comment on them,He also shared his love of God. What A great Man Joe Wallace is, He will always be in our hearts and as he walks with God and looks down on us each and every day and tells god all about his web friends and how each and ever one us has also meant something to him in his daily life.We love you Joe.

I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathy to Joe's family. He was one-in-a-million! I was proud to get to know him a little. An online friend!

I still have Joe in my e-mail list and every mail I send out, I see it and review the memories I have of him. Joe so often sent me things in his replies that had Roses. He knew I liked them. He always took time to comment on my different writings, and gave soft and loving encouragement always.
In my minds eye, I see him now doing things with the Lord and the angels. Playing tennis, saddling a horse and galloping off, jogging with the Lord...and much much much more. If he gets jewels in his crown for the little things he did for others, they'll have to be small ones as they would otherwise be so numerous and therefore be too heavy to wear on his head . I smile through the tears at dear Joe and keep his family and friends in my heart. See you there one day Joe! Hugs to you and yours always. Vickey Stamps

It is certainly not a sad day for Joe, he is home with his Lord! We just look forward to meeting Joe in person when thw Lord calls us home.
To all who loved him ,take confort in knowing that you will see him again if you know the Lord, if not make this day your day to accept Christ as yours, there is nothing that would make Joe happier than knowing that you will be in heaven with him some day.

Sorry to hear about Joe. Sorry unable to come up. One of my favorite memories of Joe involve an ice tray when he wanted to prove mother wrong. Another is when he proved how much peanut butter and syrup on oreo that he could eat. Love to you all.
Love,

Joe, Our mother will be ok, knowing you are not tired and hurting any more and you are in a whole body again in HEAVEN. I know you knew we all loved you and will miss our brother but we have our memories of us growing up together. We had wonderful times together at all ages. You and I were the closest through our lifetime and I have so many memories of you taking care of me. We dated together, we got married together, you were there with me when I lost Jimmy and so many times along the way. I WILL MISS YOU SO BAD but I know you will take care of my baby girl that went HOME 4 years ago this coming Monday! She has been waiting for you!! Take care of her and help her along in the right direction. Tell her I will be at her graduation in May with her class mates and I love her soooo very much. I will do my BEST to take care of MOTHER until she comes HOME to all of YOU and GOD!! Everlasting love to you and Joni, Janet

Please accept my most sincere condolences. Joe now knows how many lives he reached out and touched while on his journey here on earth. He will be missed by all of us, but we will see him again, as he now stands tall and waits for us. Joe, we will remember you always, a REAL man who loves Jesus!
God bless Joe's family,
