I am sorry for your loss. It saddens me to think of how you must feel. May the assurance that God cares give you the strength you need from day to day. . He says "I have heard your prayers, I have seen your tears" 2 Kings 20:5.

My sympathy & prayers for all of Joey's family & friends. Seeing his obituary today, my heart sank knowing that such a gentle, generous, hardworking and loyal man (with a twinkle in his eye and a quiet sense of humor) was gone so young. I am grateful that his path crossed mine, and that just a year ago I had the opportunity to visit with him often. You will all be in my heart and prayers.
