The Praise the Lord Choir extends our sincere condolences to your family, particularly to our singing Emma and Linda, our pianist. We wish thank them both for their willingness and courage to perform with us, even during some of the most difficult and emotional last days. And a special thank-you to Linda for coming out for us at the Emmanuel Home the day after Joe's passing. That was understandably difficult for you and Lionel. We will all miss Joe's presence at our future concerts. He was a faithful and enthusiastic audience member - always encouraging, and always smiling.
