I graduated from East Surry with Joey. He had the prettiest, ice blue eyes. He was always so nice and friendly. I was sorry to hear of his passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

To God Give The Glory: Jesus is Happy to see one of His Saint coming Home! He smile just like Joey when He saw him Coming. Gaye, Glenn, Cain, Tilley, Pansy Family: I am deeply pained by the lost of our Joey. This I know God makes NO mistakes! We must pray and seek His wisdom about Joey leaving us so soon. Jesus teaches us love and if our neighbor hurts we hurt. I am hurting we you. I am lifting your names up to Jesus so he will help you bear the day ahead! God loves you and so do I! I may not get there because of some health problems.

To God be the Glory: Gaye, Glenn, Cain, Tilley and Pansy Family: My heart swells with the pain of the homegoing our dear Joey. At one time we were were all neighbors and care for each other very much! Jesus would have us to know if my brother or sister suffers then I as a Christian should feel your pain. Indeed I feel deeply the loss of Joey leaving us to go to Heaven. God needed him now to send us a message. Thus we must pray for wisdom to understand this precious taking! Let us all be ready to meet our Saviour as Joey seem to prepared himself. God does not move unless he wants is to draw closer to him. God has special work for this happy ,pleasant young man. He was always friendly and share that beautiful smile! I want you to know I am still available to listen and share your grief. Just call and lean on me. Our families have been close for many years and we can rely on each other! God has his way of bringing us back to each other remembrance. God love You and so do I. I lift you up in pray because this may be more difficult than anything you have experience.

Gaye and family, My heart is broken, God just gained another flower. I've known Joey since he was a little fellow, he was so sweet and kind. Whenever I would see him he always had a smile and a hug for me, his big blue eyes would melt your heart. Gaye, in this difficult time, may you find comfort and compassion to warm and sustain you, and the unfailing love of God to bring peace to your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you.
