Mrs. Ceal, I’m so sorry for your loss. Brother Joe was a welcome sight for a young person in a new place. He welcomed me to the church and always went out of his way to make me feel cared for, loved and found a way to make me smile. I look back with fond memories of my time in Greenwood and it was in large part thanks to him and how he lead the church. What a testament to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God be with you and God bless you during this tough time.
