Aunt Pat, Robert, and Ted I don't have to tell y'all what a good man Uncle Joe was, It was always a joy to see him! I am so glad I was able to see him on his last visit to Virginia in Sand Bridge a few years back. He will always be in my heart and never forgotten.
Love you all, Rhonda Stevens

Pat, Robert, Kathy, Ted, Kim, Blake, Terrylee, Bradley, Kyle and the family,
Tina and I are so sorry to learn of Mr. Joe's passing. Joe was a special friend to us and you all treated us so much like family when we attended Bulls Gap UMC. Joe was always there with a helping hand and you all continue in that fashion today. Joe was a wonderful example of how the Christian life should be lived. Joe's life will live on through you all! We won't be able to attend the funeral service Friday night due to covering a football game in Seymour, TN, but I'll try to get by to see you guys sometime this weekend. You all are special friends and please know that we are here for you in your time of grief. To be absent from the body is to the present with The Lord. May God Bless You all during this difficult time.
In Christ's Love,
Wade, Tina, Daniel, Anna, Lance, Makayla and Nathaniel Littleton
