Memories and Condolences

I'm Mary Jacobs older daughter.
I never met Desiree before but I heard wonderful things about her.
I did attend the funeral with my mom though. Losing a loved one can be very hard. But I believe that when someone dies GOD needs them for a special assignment in heaven.
I believe that one day GOD and JESUS was having a conversation and GOD said JESUS I have an assignment that I need to get done but I need someone special to help me and JESUS said well I know someone that can get it done her name is Desiree. GOD said are you sure and JESUS said yes I'm sure. So GOD said okay JESUS call Desiree I need her to come up here to help me. So he called her and she went.
Just from reading my bible I have read a lot of wonderful things about heaven and I'm sure Desiree is happy and enjoying herself with JESUS. :)
I pray GOD gives Brad and the kids strength to make it everyday.
But if Brad reads this I want you to know saved people don't die, they just finished their course and it's time for them to go. But when it's your turn to go, you'll see your wife again.
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
GOD BLESS,

To the Joseph family:
I am so glad that I got to know Desiree. Desiree was a wonderful person, friend and neighbor. I will never forget her beautiful smile or the day your family moved into the neighborhood. My family knew anytime we stopped to talk with the Joseph family, that we would be there for several hours.
God found a wonderful angel, a angel that could greet/welcome us all with a smile.
May God be with you Brad, Morgan and Kendall.

Desiree is a wonderful person..and I am thankful to have met her when we worked together at Turner Broadcasting. She had such a great spirit. One could tell that during her walk through life, she would become friends to many; now, she is an Angel to all.
Peace be with you.

As someone who knew Desiree since 4th grade, I will miss her dearly. She made so many contributions to our class through the years. Whether she was a band member,cheerleader, club member and/or officer, or a student in a classroom, she always worked hard. She was such a spiritual person, and was always there when her friends needed her. I will cherish the time we spent together always. As an honor graduate of the Red Bud High School Class of '81, she represented us all so well in her post-high school accomplishments.
I will miss you, Desiree, and your beautiful smile! May God be with your family and loved ones.

To Brad, Kendall and Morgan, my deepest sympathy. Thank you Desiree, for spending some of the most important, precious days with us at DOR. You are missed, not just as a collegue, but as a friend.

I did not know Desiree personally, but through my prayers for her, I knew her very well spiritually. Mr. Joseph, Morgan and Kendall, words cannot express the grief and sadness that I felt when I learned that someone you loved so dearly had passed away. The feelings are so deep, so overwhelming and unreal, that it's difficult to know just what to say. But perhaps when language fails us, we can share what's in our hearts by letting you know that I will be near always to listen and to comfort and to help the healing start by showing just how much I truly care. I Know you grieve the loss of your loved one Desiree, but remember She's really only as far away as your heart, your soul, your dreams. The day will come when your pain will lessen, and your burden of grief will lift like the sun rising over the horizon. Until that day, please let me help you in any way I can. "Trust in the GOD and I Know HE will direct your path.
You know you are always in my prayers.

I got to know Desiree better when she came to the Department of Revenue at Century Center. She had a beautiful spirit, and was humble just as her mother described her. As I got to know Desiree better, I treated her like a sister. I miss my friend tremendously and grieve with the family. I would rather go through my personal pain of grief (and Desiree be at peace) than to have Desiree here in pain.
To Brad, Morgan, Kendall, Mother, and the rest of the family, I want you all to know that I’m available to you all after this week (or in the future). I’d mentioned to Desiree that we (my wife and I) would be a part of her “village”. I love you all and will continue to pray for you. When I feel sad, I’m going to think on the beautiful spirit and smile that Desiree had to help me as I grieve with you.
Now, it is my earnest prayer that: The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. Numbers 6:24-26
Love,
Ronald Comer & Family

Cherished Friends
God must have know there would be times we'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share the joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate the happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish....lasting....true,
And so God answered the heart's great need with Cherished Friends....like you
Mrs. Desiree Joseph, a beautiful spirited young woman who has touch all our lives at Mirant. I will remember your laughter, smile and how proud you are of your family. You will truly be missed. My deepest Sympathy to the Family.
Love
