Joe was the best friend I could ever ask for. It hurts to see Joe leave us so soon, but I feel privileged to have known Joe and had him in my life. He was always the life of the party. When he was around it was impossible to have anything other than a good time. My entire family loved him and his attitude and humor rubbed off on us. I see his sense of humor in myself sometimes and in my son. We will carry his memories with us forever. My sympathy goes out to his family in this hard time and to his fiance Z. RIP Joe!

I am sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. When we lose someone it is a very sad time because death is unnatural and it was not Jehovah God’s purpose for us to die so our loving creator has given us the hope of seeing them again.The Bible teaches at Acts 24:14 that our loved ones will have life again by means of the resurrection hope. There is more information about this hope at http://www.jw.org
