Though he has spent a great life with a great lady and great kids, this still hurts my soul. Joe Thomas was always my favorite uncle and I wish I could have spent more time with him. He was the last of my older relatives. He loved his kids more than they know and was very proud of them. Love you Dee Dee, Tom and Jody!

We have many good memories of Marlene and Joe in Fulton through the years. They were the best. Our sympathy.
Davis Family
So sorry for your loss. I did not know your loved one but know we can see our loved one now asleep in death again.
“How comforting it is to know that our loved ones now asleep in mankind’s common grave have the prospect of resuming life in a wonderful new world free of all the present-day causes of distress! And what a privilege it will be for the “great crowd” of Jehovah’s servants who survive the end of this wicked system of things to welcome and instruct those resurrected to life on earth!—Rev. 7:9, 10.”

We share in sorrow with you while remembering all the good times we shared. Joe and Marlene are now together again, in perfect love.
Peace to all,
