May the joy you had with Joe bring peace to your hearts. You have reasons to lift your heads up because Jehovah God through the sacrifice of his son,Jesus, has made arrangements for you to be reunited with your wife, Mom, grandma, and sister again in God's new world. What a grand reunion that will be! John 5:28,29
