I considered Joe a friend and will miss him very much!

We are so sorry to hear of Joe's death but we know he is not suffering anymore.  Joe was a precious friend to us.  We will miss him and Susie.  To James and Frances and all of the rest of the family, thank you for sharing Joe with us.  We will never forget the wonderful time we had when He came to SC and visited our church.  You all are in our prayers.

Hugh & Susan,
I am sorry I could not be there for you both. I am so upset to loose Aunt Susie and Uncle Joe. I have not been part of thier life for 12 years now, but that did not mean, I didnt love them very much. I know some of the pain you are going through, and if there is anything I can do, or if you just need an ear to listen, please dont hesitate to let me know. I love you both very much and I am praying for both of you. I hope to see you all soon.

Love Kyle & Dixie Phillips

Hugh and Susan, I'm so sad to hear about Uncle Joe's passing. I still remember him taking me to sign up for baseball when I was about 9 yrs old.  I also remember him frying the fish at those fish frys we use to have at Grandpa's cabin.  Try to take comfort in knowing that both of them are in a better place and no longer bound by the pain that plagued their earthly bodies.

Love.

Hugh and Suzanne, so sorry that you are going through this difficult time again so soon. Please know that you both are in our thoughts and prayers. Your mom and dad will be greatly missed. Remember to cherish the memories that each of you shared with your parents and all the good times. You are both blessed to have had such caring, hard working parents that loved you dearly. We love you both and are here for you if you need anything. 
Love and Blessings, Paulette, Kyle, Dixie, Chris, Nicki and Kaitlyn

To the Family - I was so shocked when I saw about Joe's passing but at the same time, can you imagine the reunion that took place in heaven when Susie and Joe saw each other again? We are praying for you! Just hang on to your good memories and think of them together again!

We are thinking of you and praying that God comforts you in this time of need. 
Sincerely,
Dr. Karen Barwick & Staff

Dear Daddy, you are now in a wonderful place and you are not suffering or in pain. You are with momma like you have been for the last 48 years. I thank you for everything you taught me. You made me stronger in so many ways, and I love you for this. I will miss you both so much until we see each other again. Love your baby girl, Suzanne

So sad to hear about Rufford's death. I am his first cousin and have such fond memories of times we shared. To lose both of your parents within four days is so terrible; I can't imagine your pain. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
