My thoughts are with Joe’s family. It is so painful to lose someone, yet no one else can really know all that you feel except our Heavenly Father. He knows and feels your pain. He calls death an enemy and promises to remove it forever, Isaiah 25:8 “And he will swallow up death forever…” He also promised to wake up all our loved ones, in the memorial tombs, from death (Isaiah 26:19). What joy it will be to see our loved ones again and to enjoy life as our Creator purposed (Psalms 145:16). I hope these words give all of you comfort.

So sorry to hear the news of Joe’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Underwood family. My father, Danny Allbritton always enjoyed going to the motorcross races with Joe and Cathy. I am sure Dad greeted Joe with open arms, and they are watching a fun race now. ❤️
