Dear Jan,
I was so sorry to learn of your father's death. He was the epitome of a true gentleman. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I just learned of Joe's passing. It was my honor to work with him in editing and producing "Living Vessels: A History of the Home Mission Foundation." It was his vision and his passion that made the book a reality. I know this is but one of the legacies he leaves, but I'm so thankful to have been a part of it and to get to know this remarkable man of God.

I would love to hear from you and catch up. Sincerely, Zetta Sue Sechler Earnhardt
