I remember Joe growing up his daughter Erica and I were best friends. I imagine these days must seem dark, be patience and trust in God's love."We should not trust in ourselves but in God."-2Cor.1:9 We have lost touch but we will always have the memories.My love and prayers are with you all.

Joe Stocks felt my pregnant belly with mine and Jim Manning's daughter, Ginger, in 1979, something I will never forget. I am so sad to lose such a friend from so long ago.... My heart goes out to all his loved ones he has left behind. I wish you and Joe some peace. Janis "Manning" Tyson from Charlotte, N. C.

Joe and I go way back. We used to be neighbors and went to school together. He was really fun to be around and I am sure all his family and close friends will miss him. I will keep all of them in my prayers.

Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. We don't understand why some things happen, but know that God will be there for you through it all. Remember to lean on family and friends to help you, too. I will always remember Joe on Sunday mornings as he was always ready to greet you with a big good morning and a smiling face.
