The promises God made are all true. Dear Family, may I express my deepest and sincere condolences for your loss. You can, however, find a degree of comfort in knowing that the God of Tender Mercies, who cannot lie, has promised a resurrection for all of those in the memorial tombs. John 5:28,29.

"Papa" Joe has been a member of our Bible study for the past 10 years. We took to calling him Papa because he was just that to all in our group. The joy of the Lord shone through this man, this servant of God. We could always count on Papa Joe to interject just the right verse for the study that we were having. He is greatly missed here on this earth and there will be an empty chair at the dinner table Thursday night where Papa always sat. But, knowing where he is and that he is with his Lillie brings comfort and a smile to my face. We love you Papa Joe and look forward to that time when we will meet again.
