Kathy,
My heart aches for you! I was so saddened to hear the news of Joe’s passing. I know how much he loved the gym, I would always get smile and hello when he would come through the door. He will be missed !
I will keep you close to my heart and in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless, My Deepest Sympathy,

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Joseph. God has a plan to soon wipe out all suffering forever (Revelation 21:4) and reunite us with our loved ones that have fallen asleep in death. 1 Cortinthians 15:26 assures us that soon “The last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” May the God of all comfort, Jehovah, help to sustain you during this difficult time of loss.
