    I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.

  5. Libby Richardson-Smith, Jonesboro, AR says

    I was so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was such a kind man and how he put up with my daddy (Troy from Jonesboro Healthcare) is beyond my comprehension! Anyone else would have had daddy put away (Alzheimer's), but Joe was so patient and had a great sense of humor. He always had a kind word for us and I was so sorry when he had to "move." I believe that Joe is in heaven now, running, breathing in the fresh air-and I hope he can remember some of the "fun" times with my dad, and all the good times with you, his family.God bless you all-I did not know Joe well but I do know he was a good man, a patient man, and a man of love.

  6. Jon Looney, Mexico says

    Haven't seen you in a long time but, Joe David, we had some good times. Good knowing you. Rest in Peace.

  7. Mary Lee Cunningham, Jonesboro says

    Dear Family of Joe David -Janane is the only one of you I know, but I certainly knew Joe David as young boy! He and I played together when we were in lower elementary. His dad, Jathen, and my daddy were business partners for a while. We kids loved to prowl around the old junk store and back lot where the junked cars were to see what we could find. I remember once really getting into trouble with my Dad because Joe David and I had discovered it was lots of fun shooting windows out of old cars on the back lot! Daddy promptly let us both know that there would be no more of that. He said, THAT'S HOW WE MAKE A LIVING - SELLING WINDOWS AND OTHER PARTS OFF OLD CARS, SO I'D BETTER NOT CATCH YOU TWO SHOOTING OUT WINDOWS AGAIN!I regret that I didn't know Joe David as a man, but the memories of him from childhood will remain with me always and in a happy way.God bless all of you.

  8. Kevin & Cathy Richardson, Jonesboro says
