Dear Damian and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I didn’t get a chance to meet Mr. Joe in person. But it sounds as if his hard work and care for his community adds to the legacy that he’s left behind for his family. May Jehovah God strengthen all of you at this time. I hope that the words at Revelation 21:3, 4 bring you comfort until you’re reunited once again.
