I am praying God's peace upon this family;  In Hebrews 13:5 "God himself has promised not to leave nor forsake you." May God continue to keep you in His care.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Diane, I happened to see this when I was trying to call Horis Ward about my grandfather's obituary. I am sooo sorry about your loss! That picture of you is beautiful. I still miss my CIE family. I will be praying for you!

They walk beside us everyday Unseen, unheard but always near Still loved, Still missed and very dear Goodbye Old Solider Rest In Peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you in your time of sorrow. I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you, giving you the strength, love and comfort that you will need to face the days ahead.

Diane and family, We are so sorry for your loss and pray that the Lord will comfort each of you and give you strength to face times ahead. Joe was a wonderful, loving person and I am so proud that I had the opportunity to know him. Praying for each of you. I remember our cruise, my first, and how he went the extra mile to be sure we all had a good time eventhough he wasn't feeling well. And him calmly teaching Michael how to change a flat tire, and keeping me calm and reassuring me when I couldn't find my car keys in New Orleans of all places. Thank you Joe for such sweet memories. Diane and family I love each of you and appreciate you.
