Entry: Yvette, Indira, and the entire Joseph family. I am deeply touched with sympathy as I read over this obituary. I know your Dad's legacy will continue on, and I am so grateful to have met and become friends of many of you that are here because of your Dad. He will always live on in each and every one of you. So continue to remember and celebrate the many memories and love he has given you throughout his life. And I am sure we will all get to see him and celebrate together when we are all united with Christ forever and never have to go through sorrow again. So let us all live in God's Grace and Love till we meet again. Love you all and God Bless!
