I just came by this page today because I was thinking about you, our Pastor Phillip and the impact you both had on my life. I sit here and remember our talks, your advice and just your genuine love and care for me. I just wanted to come by here yet again to leave a note and express how you’re still very much a part of my daily thoughts and prayers. I look forward to the day where we can worship together our Heavenly Father for all eternity. - Rudy Jr

Aloha Brother Joe... Today is your memorial service... and just saying that seems unreal! You were too young to leave us but God had other plans for you.  I will miss our talks, our laughs, your knowledge of the Word,  our 4th of July hangouts when we would BBQ at your house, our church outings to the Harvest and all our banter about Football... that I will miss the most because your love for football is like mine... We are Die Hards! LOL :) . The boys and I will miss you very much! Much Love and Much Aloha...

I've known brother Joe since I was a teenager. He was very influential during my teenage years and I looked up to him as a man of God. His love for God, knowledge of His Word and passion for Jesus inspired me many times to desire the same. I was definitely taken back at the news of his passing but I also rejoice knowing he is exactly where I will be one day, in the presence of God. Joe, you were and always will be one of the few men of God that I hold as a true mentor in my life. Thank you for every word of encouragement, guidance and correction you ever gave me. Until we worship together again in heaven. Amen.

Dear Brother,
No words can say exactly what I am feeling inside. From the time I can remember we all, all us siblings were tight, tight as can be. 
The memories I have been blessed with are those that no one can take or replace. No matter our differences,  arguments or struggles in life, I have always loved my adorable MeJo, our lil inside bond. I tried to be the best sister I could be and though I disappointed you at times, I had to make mistakes and grow. You might not have ever understood or agreed but it was through your trials that gave me the strength to fight through.
I thank you for your wisdom, strength, courage and love threw good or bad, we always loved each other but pride and stubbornness stole time from us.
But it never took my love from you Brother, no matter anyones thoughts only we knew the truth.
So today all is forgotten and forgiven and may you fly high in heaven as you have earned your wings...set to meet our Lord and Savior,  with Momma, Carlos, Vincent and my Angel. I pray you rejoice and rest in peace, and look down and give me peace in knowing you loved me and are still protecting me as you and Carlos always have. Give a great big kiss and hugs to Momma and our brothers, and my grandson.
Till we meet again my beloved brother, "Never Gonna Give You Up"
Watch over our families from Heven
Peñalber, Bellos, Renterias, Garcias and Armida and your grandchildren 😢❤🕆

Joe's passing has left me in shock and heartbroken.  I knew he was sick for years, but I thought he had years left on this planet.  However as we all know, tomorrow is not promise to any of us so we have to appreciate everyday that GOD has given us.  I was blessed to have Joe as my cousin and that we grew-up together and that our families "Penalbers, Flanagans and Acunas were close until we reached adulthood. Life has a way of taking us in different directions which put years between visits.  Joe has always been loving and  respectful to everyone in our families and was there to comfort us "Flanagans" when my brother Richard and dad Jack died.  Joe shared his pastoral experience with GODLY words of comfort at my dad's service.  I will always be grateful to Joe for what he gave us that night.  Joe leaves many of us with holes in our heart but he also leaves us with many sweet memories.  Facebook feels empty without Joe's daily posts.  I will always love Joe and miss him deeply.   Love always your cousin Pat Moreno

Joe, I was very blessed to meet you in 1990 or was it 1991. We were both very lost in our lives at that time, but then God called us both to the Ministry of the saints, and our life was never the same. God had a plan for us and our families, and we were truly blessed. Thank You for 16 wonderful, blessed and crazy years together in marriage. We witnessed miracle after miracle in our life's, and our family, because of our obedience to God. However, we ended up separating which lead to our divorce, but God even had his hand in this part of our walk with God. We sat and talked one day, and forgave each other for our shortcomings, repented before God, and we remained friends all these years up until your Glorious day, your spirit was joined with our Heavenly Father. Thank you again for all the wonderful memories of breaking bread (sharing Gods word), praying for me, and being such a wonderful Father, and Grandfather.  

Fly free my friend, dance the streets of Gold with Jesus, and I will see you when day again in Paradise. 



Love Always, Your friend-Annie" or steamboat Annie as you called me 

The times the flanagans and the penalbers grew up together with memories. Like going to the store in the morning before going to school. Celebrating special occasions and holidays together. I will miss u my cousin. Love u lorraine
