Uncle Joe, who I haven’t seen in many years will always be loved and never forgotten. May he rest in peace.
Our Prayers and thoughts are with the rest of the family.

Joe – We never had the opportunity to know each other. Your wife, my aunt Dorthy died the year I was born. I wished I could be closer to my cousins, Mary and Darley, but living so far away has made that nearly impossible. My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins whom I hope to get the opportunity to meet very soon. There is nothing more important than family and I pray to God that I get the chance to be family to them.
Love, Brenda Rose Hazlett-Simanteris
It was great to know your Dad. He was a true christian. I remember his testimonies at church and his concern for teen challange. I saw him last month and at firt he didn’t recognize me then after I told him who I was he said, he said he remembered me. Please know that you, Darley, & Mary and family, are in our prayers. He’s rejoicing now with the saints in front of the throne. And I can still hear him singing “It is finished!” Love in Christ, Cindy & Tom
