Dear Cathy, Pam and Richard, I'm so very sorry for Joe's passing. I know you all must be in shock and intense grief. I'm stricken with grief at the loss of Joe. I know he will be missed very much by all of his family and friends. Having known Joe from grade school through adulthood, he was always kind, sweet and funny. His sarcastic sense of humor will surely be missed. He made me laugh whenever I was around him. I'm praying for Shae and all of you that God will give you comfort and peace now and in the future. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for any of you all. I love you all Renee' Jarrett

To Kathy,Pam and All the family, I was a friend to the Gearen family for many years. I am Rhonda (Elmore)Parrott and my brother was Roger Elmore (passed away 3 yrs ago). I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. You know I have always cared for your family and prayed for you all. I would love to be at the memorial but will not be able to make it since I am in Houston and have obligations at my church on Sunday. I will be praying for the Lord to give you all the peace,strength and comfort that you all will need. Some of the family does not know me but others will. Joe was always very sweet when I was around him. Please know that the Lord Jesus Christ is there for you. You can call on Him at any time. He loves you. Please know my thoughts and prayers will be with you. Rhonda Parrott
