I am just learning of Joe's transitioning!I am so shocked to hear of your loss. My heart is sad as Joe was always a friend to me in school when others weren't nearly as kind!. Always gentle; and always had a big toothy smile. God's speed my brother in Christ! God's speed!

My heart aches for the Purcell family to lose in death your precious loved one Mr. Joe. Words are so limited that can give comfort, so I would like to share with you beautiful scripture where our loving heavenly Father, Jehovah God (Psalm 83:18), wants you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 34:18 None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. Our precious savior, Jesus, promises us at John 6: 40; 'For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day'. And again at: John 5: 28; 'Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...' And also at John 11:23-25; 'Jesus said to her: 'I am the resurrection and the life.' The one who exercises faith in me, even tho he dies, will come to life. I pray that Jesus's promise to reunite us with our loved ones on resurrection day will carry you through the difficult days ahead and gradually replace your tears of grief with tears of joy as you reflect on your precious memories of happier times with Mr. Joe. Job asked at Job 14:14; 'If a man dies, can he live again?' Job answers at Job 14:15; 'You (Jehovah) will call and I will answer.' Just like Job, we can have confidence in the resurrection hope.
