Joseph Schmidt

Dear Shannon & Family, My Mom, Lizzie Belle Haydel Venus and your Paw-paw Haydel were brother and sister. She was the only sibling to stay in St. James Parish, while the others moved to Houma. Your Dad and I are first cousins. Just want you to know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers. My Mom told me a very long time ago, that your Maw-maw (my Aunt Judith) said that no matter how many children she had, she stilled missed Lil Larry. With all of my love,

I am thankful for the annual reminder so I can let you know I am still thinking of you and your family. Love, Lauren Wilder Bourg

Dear Evans and Shannon; It's been many years and I still routinely reflect upon the loss of your dear son, Joseph, to this day. We all must continue to pray and accept that there is a greater plan God has for us. Our pains are our crosses and bring us closer to our Lord. Love, jc

Hello I am Larry Cresswell. One of Joseph's best friends. I used to be a student at St. Andrew Episcopal School. We were in the same class. We used to play baseball together and were best friends. He is still my best friend and very close to me. I'm very sorry for "our" loss. And let the fact that we know this kind-hearted boy is living in peace.

I will never forget the day of precious
Joseph's funeral. What a beautiful
family. You are always in my prayers.
Blessings
Mrs. Sandy Sanchez, O.P.
