Stephanie and family, Sending up prayers today for you all. I didn’t know Joe personally but he was always very kind and respectful.You guys were one of the little families I was very proud of. Always taking good care of your girls. I don’t believe there are any words to lessen the pain that you have today and will carry for the rest of your days. I’ve read many posts that have spoke about Joe and his Love for the Lord. Take comfort in knowing that you will see your Beloved Joseph again someday and he will always be with you.

To Joseph’s loving grandmother, Nellie Billie
May the strong faith that has carried you through so much in your own life carry you through this tragic loss of your grandson, Joseph. May you continue to be reminded of the beautiful bond he now has with his father, Merle, in heaven.
Stephnay – my heart aches for you and the girls. I fondly remember the great time Nellie and I spent with Joseph, you and Ainaya in Santa Fe eating at Torilla Flats and taking Ainaya to her first ever movie. I will continue to hold all of you in prayer. Love, your “sister” and friend Kathleen
