Gestures
Kelly, Tom and I are so sorry that Joel died suddenly. We send this candle memory now as we have been so busy with holiday preparation, family and friends, and much more. Tom has even driven by you house daily just to check on it. All is well. You, your mother, and all Joel's family are in our prayers. May God watch over his soul while he watches over each of you from Heaven.
I only knew Joel for a short time, but was truly blessed to know him as a very wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers to his family in this time of sorrow.
I am so glad I had a chance to reconnect with Joel last summer before I flew back to Singapore. It was so good to see him after so many years. He still had that distinctive chuckle and funny sense of humour despite the passage of time. What is indelible in my mind, is Joel, the chilled teenager who not only put up with my intrusion into his space but entertained me whenever I went down to do my laundry in his basement during our Christmas visits. He made me laugh and feel welcome. I will miss him.
