    My Uncle Joe was a wonderful man and he lived his life for the Lord . Sadly we as Americans are way too busy and I mostly saw him at family reunions. His brothers and sisters, one of which was my mother Marie were blessing in my life also. I can only imagine their lives as they grew up together. He is now in the hands of our Father in Heaven Amen

    I remember Mr Joe coming to Shady Grove Church singing with Dovid Lee Wallace and playing his harmonica. He always had a smile on his face and such a sweet man. I’m sorry for your loss. 🙏🙏
