Joseph Locke

I remember taking a trip to Oklahoma in 1989 to spend Christmas with Joe and Deanna and the Locke family, who would later become my in-laws. I remember telling Greg that I had never seen a family so filled with love for one another. That has held true to date. I am in awe of how this family has been able to rally around one another with much needed love and support. I know how much Joe loves his family and that when he looks down on them from above and keeps a watchful eye on them that...

You know I will always love you and you will dearly be missed.You will be forever in my heart and in my mind.I look around and think of many happy memories that I will never forget.

Love You Dad!!!!Always and Forever

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

I have so many memories from my youth growing up around my aunt, uncle and cousins. One of them was when we went on a camping trip (which we did quite often, and I really enjoyed a lot). We were camping at San Louis Reservoir and uncle Joe, aunt Nana, my cousins and myself were in a boat fishing in the middle of the reservoir. It was starting to get dark when all of a sudden my cousin Greg's fishing pole bent in half. Greg yelled 'dad i got a fish'. So uncle Joe jumped up and grabbed...

The fondest memory I have of my uncle is him waking Denise and I up early in the mourning when he got off work to cook him a fried egg sandwich and pull his stinky work boots off. In memorance of Uncle Joe my mom is making me a fried egg sandwich. Uncle Joe you will be missed and in my thoughts. Love to the Locke family

Joe Locke was my Brother-in-Law and I was his FAVORITE Sister-in-Law. He had a VERY UNIQUE personality and he truly enjoyed LIFE. My Sister had a rare love relationship with him that few couples ever experience. They loved each other unconditionally.

Deanna -- when your heart gets heavy, remember him and laugh because you have a lot of good fun memories to enjoy!!

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

My thoughts and prayers...

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Locke's passing. I smile when I remember his joy for life and his absolutely genuine personality. What a blessing he was to know.
