Dear Peter, Julie & Family: It is was with such sadness that I heard of Joel's passing. The Darby family expresses their love for you and your family during your time of mourning. Our peace is knowing that you and your family know His plan and purpose, that He knew before we were ever formed what He had for us. It does not minimize your feeling of loss but assures you of when you shall meet with Joel again. Our prayers are with you!

Peter & Julie: From the time Adam and Jane came to visit and couldn't see over the counter, through the 'name the baby' games, until now, knowing you and your family has been an inspiration and primer on walking with God. Your witness in the T-C Herald spoke volumes about the true joy of Christian parenting. The memorial was beautiful - I think we all left knowing what Joel knew all his life - he was a special child of God's and he as loved by his family. You are in our prayers. {{{{{Diaz Family}}}}}

Dear Peter, Julie & family:
A child is such a wonderous gift and I'm sure you and your family will miss Joel always. My thoughts and prayers are for you to find comfort in knowing how special he is in your memories. Sincerely, EM

Peter, Julie and Family -
Glenn and I are so deeply sorry that you and your family is having to go through this. I met Joel twice and he was such a great kid, just like your other children. He was so blessed to have such great parents, siblings and family. We are praying for you every chance we get.

All our thoughts and prayers are with your family. God Bless You.

Peter, Julie and Family,

We just can't imagine the pain you are experiencing. Our hearts are heavy with sorrow for all of you as we think of Joel leaving his family on earth. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray for God's grace to bring comfort and strength and provide for you in the days ahead.

Dear Diaz Family:

We are so sorry to hear of your sudden loss. My husband, Mark, had Joel in his Science class last year at the ECHO Homeschool Co-op.

Mark commented that Joel was such a vibrant and enthusiastic young man. He also noticed that he was very close to his younger brother and always looked out for him in class which is impressive.

I (Beth) attended class with Mark a couple times and also noticed Joel as being a very special boy. We will continue to pray for your hearts to be comforted by the Lord. May He strengthen your hearts in the days to come. Our deep condolences our with your family.

Sincerely,

Mark, Beth & Cody Finkbeiner

May you find the peace, strength and guidence in god to get through these hard times. You are all in my prayers, and the prayers of my family. Have a beautiful ceramony. Take care and God Bless!!!

Peter - sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family.

To the family of litle Joel our sincere thoughts and prayers. we cannot imagine your pain and are deeply sorry for your loss! May the God of our Fathers show you all much comfort. We remember Joel and his brother running the floor at the gym during vollyball games at Ki-Be with Jane or one of the parents,usally Mom) following along knowing you could not keep up with them! We remember the times when Jane and Beka(Feth) were around and the little ones were not far from Beka.

May God richly bless you, comfort you, and make His love to shine upon you in your time of loss!

Julie, Peter and family I am so very sorry for your loss. Kenzie and Taylor will always remember playing with your children. Just laughing and using their imagination. God Bless you all and my prays and thoughts are with you.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family-Joel's family. I see his smile asking Julie if the boys could do something at one of Adam's basketball games. Pictures that stick in my mind are Benton City days- when the kids were little.
Thinking of all of you. Mourning your loss. Knowing Joel is with his family in a special way.
