I have prayed for my son since long before he was born. Two things I prayed for were that he would accept Jesus Christ as his savior and that God would bring a Godly women into his life to love him. I got answers to both prayers. Although loosing him nearly tore my heart out, I know he is now with our Lord and I believe I will see him again, sooner than I think. I’m looking forward to that day. Thank you Lord. Mom
I have prayed for Joe since before he was born. God answered my prayers. I prayed that he would accept Jesus Christ as his Savior and that God would give him a good Christian Wife who would love him all his life. God answered those prayers. So I know he had a wife that loved him and because I know he knew the Savior I know he is now out of pain, absolutely in a place that is full of love, peace and Joy. What more could I want for my son. And I know I will see him again, in just s few years if not sooner. Love Mom
Becky, first and foremost I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Joe for several years and he was one of the best mechanics I ever met. He taught me a great deal and I will never forget him. I had nothing but respect for Joe. He is missed……Mike Byer Jr.
Becky, I am so sorry that your journey is now a solitary one. We feel privileged to have met you and Joe two years ago and hate that life got in the way of all our plans for visits. I will be telling the story of Joe and Gary meeting in Europe, but having so many things in common, including their looks, for years. And it is definitely hard to top the tale of eating barbecue in Zurich! Be safe and well and know that you are thought of often.
We prayed for Joe and the Lord had greater plans for him. Becky, our love and deepest sympathy to you. Peace be with you.
Dear Becky, We just found out about Jo’s promotion. He had become a very special friend during the men’s breakfasts at GMR. You have a sister widow at GMR in Patti Lynch.
