I miss Joe so much and I am truly thankful for the wisdom he gave me and the love he showed my mama, my sister, and I. I love you Joe and thank you for everything you have done you are truly God's gift and I know you will watch over all of us from your mountain top high above. One day we will see you again but until then I will never forget you and will try and carry on the kindness and love that you showed everyone that you encountered in life. Your step-son - Russell

Susan, I just heard about Joe last night and was truly stunned by it. I liked Joe tremendously and took him on a tour of my shop at work just last year it seemed. He truly enjoyed that and I just got an e-mail last week or before and he told me he had been sick. I never knew how sick and Joe wasn't one to complain about anything. Those times in Daytona seemed not so long ago. May God bless you and keep you girl. Love you much.~ Jerry Coile ~ Warner Robins,Georgia

Susan, Joe left this world "doing".
He meant to live until he died and that is just what he did. Who else but Joe Wade would on the last day of his life stand outside barefoot and put on his tag on his truck! That is truly living "one day at a time". I love you.

I'll always remember Joe speaking to our class. He had so many great stories to share and he was so easy to talk to. I am struck by all the friends and family that surround Joe in the picture collection here. I know that their lives are better for having known him.
REVELATION 21:3,4 gives us hope
March 22, 2010
Death, be not proud
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

Susan, I am so sorry to learn of Joe's passing, we were out of the state for 10 days and I only found out Sunday. I enjoyed being around Joe and you so much when we were going thru our other heartache. I know Erin and Joe must be looking down on us now and problely saying "you fools, don't cry for us now, we have it made and we will be waiting for ya'll." I love you Susan and I am a phone call away.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Daddy, I am going to miss you terribly and do already. I can't believe you are gone but I know I have the assurance that God saw your life and smiled. You entered into the gates of heaven hearing "Well done, thy good and faithful servant" and now you are at rest with Him. Thank you for being a wonderful, loving dad. You will be remembered as "Big Joe Wade" to many, an encourager and an inspiration to all you came in contact with. I will see you again one day. I love you, your daughter, Robbie.
