I love big Joe and I will always love big Joe and his brother and I will always miss him. I wish I would've known earlier I would've attended his services. Big Joe has been my friend for many years and I will carry him into eternity

Lois and I were so sorry to hear of Bobby Joe’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought me comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

Larry,
This brings sadness to my heart my friend. I will always cherish and value the memories of Joe, and you cannot think of Joe without Bill. They brought me so much laughter growing up and the fun times we had. May the Lord put peace and serenity in your heart during this difficult time. I know there is a heaven, and God welcomed home another child of his. Much Love and Respect to You All.
