Vicki, Jo-Dee & Joe --
I'm so sorry to learn of Joe's passing. I pray that God will hug you close during this difficult time now...and in the weeks, months and years to come.

Cous,
I will always remember the good days growing up together. Yes, we had borrowed fishing worms from my neighbor and the lord forgave us for that because we got caught and had to repay my neighbor back the worms.
I know Aunt Emilie has greeted you by now and said "Welcome Henry Chickhawk, to the lords home".
To your family I deeply regret your passing, my prayers are with them. I have spoken to your mom and her faith will carry her through these tough times. God Bless everyone.
