To Kathy, the family n friends; we send our deepest sympathy during your season of grieving this loss of your beloved. We pray that our God guard your hearts n minds, with His perfect peace. ❤❤❤ God bless !
Joe, was such a God fearing committed follower of Jesus ! As a fellow member at Cornerstone COG more than 20 years ago, his commitment, service n loyalty to the kingdom of God n our King of kings and Lord of lords was evident in his life. Now, as he has entered his eternal rest with Jesus; we know that he is enjoying that glory that scripture tells us about that will be ours one day when our journey here is complete. RIP JOE BURGESS ❤
