To Mrs Ledbetter and family you have our deepest sympathy in the death but heavens gain of Joe. May you find comfort in knowing we share in your grief and praying with and for you and family. We knew Joe thru his sister Lucy and also from the Chevy dealer. Joe always met you with a big smile and a fun conversation. He often spoke of his love for his wife and children. He was greatly missed when he left the Chevy place. We pray in the days ahead God brings you peace and comfort. He will now receive what God promised because he knew him for himself. Eternal life what a blessing.
