To Jim and Family.

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I know how much she meant to all of you. I had the privelege of meeting your mom in Las Vegas. We had a very fun evening. She was a warm and vibrant person who obviously enjoyed life. Your loving family is a testament to how she lived her life and her values. Those things will stay with you forever. Jan and I send our thoughts and prayers to you in this time of sorrow. God bless.

To the Joesel family from a friend of Jim Joesel Sr.



Mrs. Joesel must have been a heck of a lady. I know that even though I never met her because I knew her son and grandson (Jim and Jim Jr). Both are fine men and that has to be her greatest testimonial. That probably says more about her than anything else. She certainly left her mark on this world and I am better off by getting to know them...so in a way I did get to know her. I know Jim and I both talked of our mothers often and there is no doubt they have had a huge impact. I wish I would have had a chance to meet her.....even though I think I sort of did through Jim.



God bless you all.

I have know Jim and his family for about 7 years now. Jim has been a good friend and almost like a dad to me. I have had the honor of spending time with him and his family. Jim's family is one of the kindest, sweetest families I know and I am sure his mother was a reflection of that. I have never had the privilage of meeting Jim's mother, but I am sure that she was an amazing women that will be greatly missed. Jim, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Jim-

I remember getting to meet your Mother only one time, and it was in Las Vegas. My only memory of her was when she was vibrant and having fun. I like to remember people that way.

My family has been friends with Jim Joesel and his family for almost 10 years now. We never had a chance to meet his mother but I'll sure she was a super lady, based on the people that Jim and his family are. May God welcome you home.

I was honored to have the opportunity to meet Mrs. Joesel and spend time together, limited as it was. The family she leaves behind is the best testiment to the life she lived and the values she kept. I have never met a family with more love, respect and support for each other. I know those are the things which will help you all through this time of loss. Hopefully the love and prayers of your friends will add to your comfort. Please count mine among those.

Thanks for all the fun memories Gram. I love you and cherish the times I spent with you, doing all the things you loved. Countless lunches out, late night card games and even a few casino trips! You gave me a place to stay when I needed you too. We were there for eachother during times of surgery for you and pregnancy scares for me.I will never forget sitting in the ER with you, and how all the nurses kept coming in to see my Grandma---nobody could believe you were a Grandma...so young and beautiful looking. That is how I will always remember you--healthy and beautiful.

Thanks Gram!
