Joe, you are the kind of person that one would think would never die, but I guess you didn't did you. You have only began to live. A life with no more pain, no more worries, yet only happiness and you get to actually be with the lord instead of just feeling him in your heart. Of course we will all selfishly still want you here with us, your family. So I congratulate you on your move from Miller to Heaven and will end by saying, TIL WE MEET AGAIN.

To my cousin Joe's Family....I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you in you hour of need. And like the flower that survives a storm, you as a family will come through this intact knowing that Joe bravely endured the pain of his illness and fought a valiant battle. He has completed his trials here on earth and his reward is seeing the face of our lord and his family, who have been waiting patiently to once again wrap their arms around him. It's wrenching being torn apart from someone you love so dearly, but Joe left not by choice, but by Gods will and by that same will you will someday be reunited! You are all in my prayers!! Love.
