Death leaves a heartache that only Almighty God can heal. Love leaves precious memories that know one can steal. May, "the God of all comfort," be with you and your family during this time of sorrow.
With Kindness.

I knew Joel in High School. He was 2 years older that me. I will always remember that he was quick to laugh, had sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks. For some reason,I can't remember the particulars at this point, my dad hired Joel to paint our house one summer, even though he was practically a kid. He was at our house for weeks and it was a fun summer having Joel around. RIP Joel

Stinson Family - I am so sorry for the loss of such a kind and caring man. Joel stood out in so many ways. He became a good friend to me in high school, despite people giving him a hard time for becoming my friend. I have and never will forget that about him. RIP in peace dear Joel!
