Dear Syrita,

You may not remember me, but I lived on your street a long time ago with my brother Gralyn. I met you through Stacie. I am very saddened to hear about Mr. Joe who was always nice to us. I am praying for you and your family.

Dear Yvette and family,

The loss of your husband and father is a loss of a truly remarkable human being. I shall always cherish the guidance, friendship and support that Joe so selflessly provided in our relationship. Joe was and always will be the epitome of the loving father, devoted husband and tireless co-worker. May God in His Wisdom grant you and your family the strength and courage to carry on in this time of sorrow. May His Grace comfort you and guide you and may you be Blessed in the knowledge that it was you that he lived for. He was so proud of his children and spoke of their life acheivements. He was so in love with you, his wife, and he honored and worshipped you. I wish that I had known Joe longer and we lived closer. I will miss him and his joy for life.

Our condolances,

Jim and Carol Lorts

Dear Yvette and Family,

Please accept my deepest sympathy at hearing of Joe's passing. Joe and I have worked together for the past six years and I've come to know him as a close friend and trusted colleauge.

I will miss his laughter, quick wit, and infecious smile. He always shared a quick joke or funny story to brighten your day.

I do know he was a devoted husband and father. He spoke of his family often and with great pride. I feel fortunate to have gotten to know you vicariously through Joe's many wonderful stories about his family. He was truly blessed.

I have no doubt that he is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at this very moment. I am confident that Jesus welcomed him into his loving arms with the words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant".

May His love and grace embrace you all as well during this time of sorrow.

Kindest regards,

Ted

To The Family of Joe William Major:

We will miss Joe because he was a man of intelligent, integrity and a diligent worker, who provided for his family in every good way.

Joe was a loving husband to his wife Yvette and a great father to his children. His great parent skills are evident and is demonstrated through the personalities and daily efforts of

his children. They are intelligent,

well educated and exercises good ethics, and just as importantly they possess warm personas and sound spirital foundations, which have been instilled in them by Joe and Yvette. Let us not forget that Joe was a wonderful son to his parents. He was always there for

them if needed.

As a First Cousin to Joe, I have warm, loving and fun adult and childhood memories to always treasure. Family will always be

Family and love is unconditional.

Let us always remember the wonderful

smiles and laughter that Joe shared with us all: his family, friends and colleagues. He was a wonderful human being who always made a positive difference in the lives of many.

His work is done and now he must go home to his Heavenly Father. We all have a great job to do on this earth and when our job is done, we

too must go home to be with The

Father, The Son (Jesus Christ) and

The Holy Spirit. Amen!

Love and Peace,

Leroy, Cynthia, Sonja and Candice

I was so sorry to hear about Joe's untimely death.I have known Joe for a long time, ever since our kids were babies and although we saw each other only infrequently over the years it was always a pleasure to see him. He would always talk about his family and he would always bring a smile to my face.May God bless and comfort your family during this trying time.
