I am so sorry for your loss Joel and family. It is so difficult to lose someone with so much life to live ahead of them. Now you are left with pictures and memories that are more precious than gold. We cannot take anything but our memories with us. I pray that those memories comfort you in your time of sorrow and bring smiles to your faces in the years to come. The Lord promises there will be a day with no more fears no more pain and no more tears.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

It is with much heartache to have heard of the tragic loss of Jeff. I am Janet Askov's daughter and my mom was married to Jeff's dad, Joel Little, who, as you know, recently passed from cancer. I do know that Joel Sr's two son's meant so much to him. He didn't always show it, but at my mom's house we would hear many stories of both Joel Jr. and Jeff and know the love and pride he had for his sons. For Joel Jr, I cannot imagine losing your dad and brother so close together. Please know how much you were loved by them both, and continue to carry their love on for others to see. I pray for comfort and strength and peace for Jeff's entire family and that you may be surrounded by family and loved ones at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Lori (Askov) Donahue
