Joe was a friend of mine for many years. I first met him when he worked for Sears, in the paint department on South Crater Road in Petersburg. He was a very ambitious man. I will miss him until we meet again.

To my cousin Page and family, now that Joe has made his transitioned from earth you all must continue your walk with God here on earth until you all meet again.

I knew Joe in two capacities. Once as a boss when I worked for the Sherriff's Dept and as a friend when his wife Paige worked with my father at the furniture store. He will be missed.
Mrs. Paige, you have my deepest sympathies and prayers. You were there for me when my parents died ten years ago and I have not forgotten the friend you were to my daddy when my mom passed. Know that they are all looking down here waiting for us to join them and knowing that we will one day.
Hugs and...

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone,
I'll live in memories' garden, dear, with happy days we've known,
In spring, I'll watch for roses red when fades the lilac blue,
In early fall when brown leaves call,
I'll catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain for battles to be fought,
Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile, though blindly I may grope,
The memory of...
