    We enjoyed meeting and visiting your Mom and Dad quite a few years ago when we were in Ocala and went to their Kingdom Hall. My father became one of Jehovah's Witnesses as result of the Witness given to him by your Aunt Tressa out in service in Pine Castle before he and my mother were married. We especially wanted to meet your parents because of their connection to Tressa. We lost both my parents in the last 4+ years and I understand your pain.

    Our deepest sympathy to the family in the passing of Mr. Joseph. We enjoyed our frequent visits with him, and he will be forever in our hearts. He gave us so much of himself, always showing love and thankfulness. We will both be forever grateful to him and Juanita for the education that enabled success. We are unable to attend the service, but our prayers are with you at this difficult time. RIP, Mr. Joseph. We love you!
