Dear Jabo, Wayne, Doug, Jodi, Dee and Families, So Sorry to hear of your loss. We know how hard it is to lose someone you love and we know that prayers get you though it. Always cherish your memories. Love, Bernice, Lonnie, Raelene and family
I talked to your dad a few weeks ago and he told me his ticker was just about gone but I was still surprised the other day when my brother, Scott , called and told me Big Joe had passed away. He will always be Big Joe to me and even though I haven’t kept in touch when I was home and saw him he always had a big smile and hug. Sorry he is gone and will surely be missed. To all the family God bless and be with you all. Love Linda
