Dear MacMichael Family, my thoughts are with you at this time of loss. My prayer is that that you will receive peace from the Lord to sustain you, both now and in the days to come. I enjoyed serving along with Joe on the BCM International Board for over 7 years until his retirement and can attest to his great service rendered for the glory of God with BCM. May God bless and keep you at this time.

Dear Verna, Jody, Missy and Matt (et. al), the MacMichaels have all been so special to us. I can’t begin to verbalize the blessing you have been to the Bells. I wish that words, poems, verses could comfort us all. It’s only the sure reality that Joe is even now in the presence of his Lord and Savior that we can rejoice. Imagine the Master’s words: “Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!” (Mt. 2523). We too celebrate our dear Brother Joe MacMichael. --- Bob and Betty Bell

Mrs. MacMichael, Joe, Missy, & Matt,

How sorry we were to hear of Mr. MacMichael's passing. Growing up in Moorestown and being over your house countless times, I always appreciated your--and his--generosity and hospitality. His testimony for Christ remains his greatest legacy. Though we can't make it to NJ for his memorial services, please know that we are praying for all of you, as is the rest of the Stackhouse family.

Dear Verna, Jody, Missy and Matt (et.al), Joe was a wonderful example of faithfulness, in his family, our church and affiliated ministries and his business. We can all remember, reflect, and try more to be like Joe, the Christian above all else. He was a humble servant-leader. He is now a part of the cloud of witnesses, watching us in the game called life. It's our turn, now, to make Joe proud.
