Sister B.J. first let me say that meeting you and Bro. Joe has enriched the lives of my family. You have shown true love and Christian fellowship from day one. Bro. Joe's love for you was a wonder to watch. It truly gives new meaning to the old saying about watching a Christian's daily walk. Not everyone gets to have the type of blessed relationship the two of you shared. I thank God everyday for letting me and my family share time with you'll.

Dear Mom & Papa Joe,

Words can not express our grief at the loss we all feel. We will all miss that sly smile and the way Papa Joe could roll his eyes the way no one else could. He had a loving way of getting his point across without hurting your feelings.
Although we only had you a short time, we all feel blessed. It doesn't matter the quantity of time you have, but the quality. Some people are together a lifetime and never realize the jewel they have.
Mom, we...

Nanny, I am so glad that you had such a wonderful man in your life. We will all miss Papa Joe very much. Although your time with him was cut short, Im sure if you two had been married for 100 years Papa Joe couldn't love you any more than the first day he saw you. As he always said "The first time I saw her, I knew she was the one for me!" Papa Joe touched the lives of many. He was a precious man. My family adored him and he will always live in our hearts. He really touched my family...

Papa Joe- the sweetest, kindest and gentleness man we have ever met. You still are very loved, respected and admired by all you have touched so deeply. Nanny, Rev BJ, MOM, thank you for takeing such great care of Papa Joe. Ya'll have a love and bond that was cut way too short. We wished ya'll could have had another 100yrs together...ya'll deserve it.

Mr. Joe was heaven sent and the love he had for Mrs. Bj was what we all dream of everyday. They were blessed to live what everyone else only dreams of if only for a short while. He love God and live in his light so well that he made it look simple. Looking at him I know I need to get back right because i promised him I would. Mrs. Bj I love you and you are the greatest pastor of all time to me. Mr. Joe and yourself made going to church and learning the word enjoyable. I am hope to have a love...

Nanny,
You are such an AMAZING grandma, and a true inspiration to me and the way I want to live my life. I hope that my marriage will be as wonderful and as full of love as yours and Papa Joe's. We miss him terribly and we are very sorry that you only had such a short time together, but your marriage was enough love to have lasted 100 years!It was evident to all that saw the two of you together that you were meant for each other. I know these next few days, weeks, months and years are...

Dear Aunt Betty,

I'll miss his funny expressions and his little dances the most. Our church will not be the same without him. Even though the two of you were not together but five years, he loved you with all of his heart and would do anything for you. We will all miss Uncle Joe. I love you Aunt Betty.

Aunt Betty,
Thank you for being the person that you are. Thank you for letting me get to know such an wonderful couple and helping me see that God can restore anything. Thank you for all of the love and care that you shed during your years with Uncle Joe, and the love and care you gave Uncle Joe during his time of illness. As I watched you day by day care for his daily needs, it was amazing to see the tender loving care that you showered him with. Those final days may have been hard...
