TO THE FAMILY OF THE LATE JOE LOUIS SUMTER:

We who has lost a love one, wonder why God called our love one home sooner than we would like for them to leave this earthly life. The Wade Family was deeply sadden by the the crossing over of Joe, who was on a mission for the Lord. Joe earthly mission is over on this side. Joe in now in Heaven with the God he served on another type of mission. Joe new mission is to be an angel to all those who he has come in contact with and those who he hold dearly in his heart. Our heart may be heavy but we as Christian know that God is always in control.
When you becaome sadden went he come to mind. Think on the good times that you shared with him. Talked about the things he loved to do. Keep him in your heart and he will always be with you in spirit.
You have been a part of a well-lived life.
Joe Louis Sumter take your rest. A earthly job well done. You were love my many and will be missed.
The Sumter Family are in our prayers.
