To the Pedelahore family. We found out about the passing of Mr. Earl Monday and was unable to make it to the viewing and for that I'm deeply sorry. Mr Earl was like a father to me in my younger days going back some 35-years. I spoke with Mr Earl a couple of months ago and he told me of his condition, but as usual he was in grand spirits.

Sincerely,

Cathy and Manuel Miyares

Joseph Is In A Much Better World Today Than This One.

There, He Is Free And Free From All The Pain, Suffering And The Agony He Alone Quietly Endured While Here.

Upon His Arrival, There Will Be A Grand Celebration Held In His Honor, By All Who Have Preceded Him

We Should All Pray For The Repose Of His Immortal Soul.

May God Bless His Family, And God Bless Joseph Earl Pedelahore, Jr.

We'll all miss Earl. I have many fond memories from the wedding at Mata Dolorosa Church when I was dressed up in my white short pants to the family spending Hurricane Betsy at our house to one of our infamous trips to Camp Watergate on the Tangipohoa River. I offer my sincere condolences. We'll miss him.
