I remember when Joel was diagnosed with diabetes as I was one of his caregivers. I am very saddened to learn of his death and my heart goes out to his family, esp Mom, Laura and Dad, Neal. It can be difficult raising a child with diabetes and I applaud all of your efforts.
Joel will be missed by all who knew him even long ago.
What a comfort to know Joel is now in the arms of Jesus!
