We are sorry for your loss. Times like this are hardest for those left behind. Will miss seeing Joe relaxing with a cigar or unique beer enjoying the tranquility of star lake.
Jean and family,
Joe was a fine guy, truly remarkable, one of the brightest and most insightful individuals I have ever known. He was trustworthy, loyal and a lot of fun. Joe helped me from time to time with my journey. God Bless you Joe and all who loved him.
Jean,
Corinne and I send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family on Joe’s passing over to a new life with the Lord. You and he were very good to us both in Wisconsin and in Nebraska. We will always cherish those memories.
Jean,
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sending hugs.
Jean,
I am so sorry for your loss. Joe was truly a good man and great friend and I will forever miss his quick wit and smile.
My deepest condolences to you and your children.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. It’s comforting to know that we have a Heavenly Father who knows our inner-most struggles to come to terms with our loss. I recently lost a , a sister-in-law and most a best friend so I can sympathize with your pain. I found a comforting scripture at 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 which speaks of Jehovah as the God of all comfort who comforts us in all of our trials. I hope this brings you the same comfort as it has me.
