Carol, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.Do you remember me from Mary kay and Mcdonald School? I just lost my beautiful daughter,Theresa at the age of 28(3 weeks before her 29th)on April 21. I know how you feel and only time will make it more bearable but never forgettable. You see her death came almost 5 and a half years after my son, Nicholas, who died from an unknown illness in Dec. of 98. I have 2 special angels watching over me and now you have one, too. God bless and take heart.

My husband knows Joel's dad and works with Joel's uncle Lee and we are so sorry to hear what happened. We just lost my husbands father which was very good friends of Danny and Pearline so we know how hard it is to lose a loved one. Hold strong to God he will be your comfort at time. God never promises that our live will be easy and the things we have to bear, Joel is in a happy place now and he is with Jesus and wouldnt come back for the world but I know that is hard to except seeing that we always want them here with us. Trust in God and lean on his comfort. We are thinking and praying for your family. May God bless you during this time of grieve.

At school, Joel and I shared some classes and would play basketball during P.E. He was always smiling and joking. He was so much fun to be around. He was a great friend, who I enjoyed spending time with. I will miss Joel immensely, and I will always remember him.
