My dear Arlene:

I cannot imagine for one second how heavy your heart must be. I am so very sorry for your pain, and your loss. I don't have any words, other than I am thinking of you, and I pray so hard that God helps you cope at this most difficult time. I am thinking of you, and am sending you hugs. I have always enjoyed Joel the times I did get to see him, and I felt such empathy toward his struggles. I understood some of them somehow, I really did. I know that at least he is at peace now, and that God has wrapped his arms around him. I am sorry that his peace has to cause you such heartache, and I wish you the strength you will need to get through. You will get through this somehow, though I know it does not seem possible. God Bless you Arlene, losing a child is so much to bear. Please call me if you need... I am here.
My love,
Always,
Trish (your dining buddy from Florida)

We were very sad to learn of Joel's passing, we had the pleasure of getting to know Joel and Shelby through Community Baptist. The family is in our prayers. I pray you find renewed strength each day as you grieve such a significant loss.

Message from sharon andrews

Joel has tinted windows for me in every car I have owned. He always was smiling and seemed so happy. Sometimes Shelby was outside playing while I wanted for Joel to work his magic on my windows. To say the least, I was so shocked to hear of his death. May he rest in peace now. I will surely miss him.

Message from Lisa Winslett

To Joel's mother, children and close friends…when i met Joel..he took me right in. Never had a cruel thing nor a single bit of judgement in his heart. He was sweet, energetic and charming. A real cut-up and full of life. Now that sweet life has ended, and there is large hole in our community. He was loved, respected and always a pleasure to visit. I hope that he is at Peace, and that he knows we miss him..we love him..and hurt for him.
