I just heard about Joe heading to be with the Lord. While I have not seen him since our days in Damascus, it will still leave a hole because those were special times. God Bless all of you.

Joe had a special gift of making you feel better just because he smiled at you. Grief is so hard but I hope the wonderful memories you have will help sustain you through these days.

Joe was the friendly face we looked forward to seeing on Sunday morning. His good morning hand shakes turned into a sweet friendship. We will be forever grateful to God for that gift. We are so sorry for the loss of Joe, and we ask our Heavenly Father to hold you close at this time. We know we will see Joe again one day, but until then we pray God would comfort your hearts.
Sincerely with love,
Chris, Shannon, David and Thomas Martin
