Sandy, to your and your family, I know the ache, the pain of loss, and the feelings of emptiness you now experience.
My daily prayers include you and your family as you try to ease the heartache.

There's an open gate at the end of the road through which each of us must go, toward a light only HE can show.
And beyond this gate, your dad finds happiness and rest while there is comfort in the thought that our loving God knows best.
May God, who calls our dear ones home and grants them peace and rest, give you the strength and faith to say, that HE, indeed, does know best.

We just received the news that Joe went to his final resting place. We surely would have been there to show our respects had we known. Peace be in your hearts until we all meet again.

Mary Ann,

I must have done something so right for God to have blessed me with Chief Joe's friendship. Most of who I am today, I owe to his guidance and I will be forever grateful to him.

I lost both my parents last year so I know Joe is in good company.

I will hold him in my heart forever...and I will miss him.
