Trust
I will believe in Jesus, having faith like a child that He will take care of me
Obey
I will follow His commandments, confess my sins, and commit to stopping my rebellious behavior
Listen
I will be still so Jesus can speak to my heart, and reveal His will and purpose for my life
Rejoice
I trust, obey, and listen, therefore I can rejoice, knowing my salvation has been secured by the shed blood and resurrection of Jesus, and my behavior is in closer alignment with the will of God. I am on my way. Lasting peace and joy will follow!!

Good morning. For those who don’t know me, my name is Joey, and I am Joe’s oldest son. On behalf of my mother, and our entire family—including Dad’s eight children and his sixteen grandchildren—I want to thank you for being here to honor a man who was the bedrock of our lives.
I especially want to thank Fr. Ross and Fr. Almeter for their spiritual guidance and for being here today to help us celebrate my father’s life.
If there is one phrase that defines the life and the final days of my father, it is from the fourth chapter of St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” For Dad, this wasn’t just a verse on a page; it was the quiet engine behind everything he did. It was the reason he could find humor when others would find despair, and the reason he could find peace even when he lost his voice.
