Not sure what to say?

I’m sorry for your loss. May your memories give you peace and comfort of your loved one. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the loss of your loved one. May GOD be with you all during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

My Condolences.

You will be remembered as a crusader in the Native American community.

Joe and I served the National Congress of American Indians as Regional Vice Presidents for two terms, then Joe went on to become the President of the NCAI. Joe was a true leader in every respect. Joe was My Friend.
May you rest in Peace Brother and the Creator Bless your Soul and your Family.
