Brother Landis was a member of our church for many years. He was always faithful to God and the church. We had lots of fun and enjoyment together. We know he is around the throne of God where we shall all meet someday. We pray that the Holy Spirit will now comfort the Landis family and that He will enable us to continue fulfilling God's will in each of our own lives until the appointed time when God calls us home to glory. But O' what a time we will have when we meet our loved ones once again at the feet of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ!

Dear Family,

My heart is saddened and comforted at the same time. What a wonderful, caring, man he was. The smile on his face, and the twinkle in his eyes, always showed love and compassion and how he loved those girls!!! You gals have matured into wonderful, beautiful ladies, and he was so proud of each one of you. Take comfort and peace in knowing that he is home now. He truly has fought the good fight and is now settling in his mansion awaiting your arrival to join him. Love to you all.

Oh how my heart aches for each of you today. I dearly loved Joe. He, Barbara, Norma and Libby have been as much a part of the Sleeper family as Patty has over the past 26+ years. I love you all and so wish I were there with you.
