"Asleep in Jesus
Even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
1 Thessalonians 4:14
Let us not imagine that the soul sleeps in insensibility. "Today you will be with me in paradise" is the whisper of Christ to every dying saint. They sleep in Jesus, but their souls are before the throne of God, praising Him day and night in His temple, singing hallelujahs to Him who washed them from their sins in His blood. The body sleeps in its lonely bed of earth, beneath the coverlet of grass. But what is this sleep? The idea connected with sleep is "rest," and that is the thought that the Spirit of God would convey to us. Sleep makes each night a Sabbath for the day. Sleep shuts tight the door of the soul and bids all intruders wait for a while, that the life within may enter its summer garden of ease. The toil-worn believer quietly sleeps, as does the weary child when it slumbers on its mother's breast. Happy are they who die in the Lord; they rest from their labors, and their works follow them. Their quiet repose will never be broken until God shall rouse them to give them their full reward. Guarded by angelic watchers, curtained by eternal mysteries, they sleep on, the inheritors of glory, until the fullness of time shall bring the fullness of redemption. What an awaking will be theirs! They were laid in their last resting place, weary and worn, but they will not rise in that condition. They went to their rest with furrowed brow and wasted features, but they wake up in beauty and glory. The shriveled seed, so devoid of form and beauty, rises from the dust a glorious flower. The winter of the grave gives way to the spring of redemption and the summer of glory. Blessed is death, since through the divine power it removes our working clothes and dresses us with the wedding garment of incorruption. Blessed are those who sleep in Jesus!I have, and will continue to miss you my good friend. You influenced my life more than you ever knew and I will never forget you...my friend and brother in Christ.
Until we meet again...
Love and Blessings,
Joe Costa

Giving my sincere condolences. I remember Mr. Joe congratulating me for getting the honor roll in high school and giving me $20. I was very appreciative. He didn't have to, but he did, and he always greeted me and my family with a smile when we'd visit my grandparents whom were his neighbors.
To his family, I wish lots of love and comfort will surround you during this time.

To the family of (Joe Davey) our loving and caring neighbor for over 10 years.
Our Sincere condolence to his loving family.
Mr. Joe as we called him will be truly missed by all of us. My children and grandchildren. My husband and I respected him so much. He was so nice and kind to everyone. We will miss his friendly smile, whenever he would drive up and say hello. He never forgot a name. He will never be forgotten and will be in our hearts forever.
The Reed family,
818 Canterbury street.
