Lisa & Jebraille Bigelow

September 5, 2009

Mrs. Fannie, Kathy, Tyrane and Cee Cee our hearts and prayers are truly with you. Jebraille and I as well as with the rest of the Bigelow family wish to express how very deeply we feel for your loss. We all are grieving at his passing. Mr. Joe was a deacon and Sunday School Superintendent at our church and unending inspiration to us all at Mebane First Baptist Church. I will always remember his strong, generous, unconquerable spirit even though he was a man of few words.

Everyone that knew him knew that he loved his family. His constant smile expressed the joy he had for his family and his zest and gratitude for life was palpable.

I admire how he was unafraid to show or discuss his faith in God, to live it and lead his family with that faith. It was a pleasure to know him and share a bit of his life. I will always cherish those memories.
I believe Mr. Joe will be waiting with Jeanne while watching over his family even on the other side. I hope the consolation that you will find will be knowing that his spirit will live on in you. May you all feel the strength, peace, healing, understanding and receive whatever blessings you stand in need of at this difficult time and always.

All our love to you.
