Dear Family, it is said that the pain of losing a loved one is a reminder of how blessed we are to have loved. Death is not the end, but rather another step in the unending process of our unfolding. It is a pathway to God. When Joel made is transition know that his life is now cared for a power greater than any pain. It's okay to mourn. For Jesus wept. Rest assure that God is in control and in Him there is eternal life. When I think of Joel it brings a smile to my face. Always had something to say about everything. Continuously made you laugh. He loved each of us in his own way. Please don't forget "that every breath is so precious, and the next one isn't guaranteed. We have a finite number of heartbeats, a finite amount of time. But we have enough heartbeats and enough time to do what is important to our lives." Love, health, family and making peace in our relationships is IMPORTANT As we weather this difficult season, may our hearts mend, our tears dry, our faith grow, our bond strengthen. it is my prayer that God will give us strength to endure while going through this time of sorrow. David declares that "The Lord is the strength of my life...and we know that He is well able to keep us in His loving care. Love You
