To the family of MSG Ret Joseph O'Neal Jr.
The earth is
the Lord's and the fullness thereof, it speaks of His greatness and it sings of his love. It whispers of mysteries we
can't comprehend, of a beauty where life has no end.
With the deepest of sympathy in our hearts, we the O'Neal
Family of Waterloo Iowa would like to extend our heartfelt condolences.
The ravages of time cannot be stopped:
yes, outwardly we perish everyday but inner strength of heart can be renewed by trusting in the Lord to Light our way.
May the Lord heal your broken heart and mend your soul with the presence of His peace.
" I will
turn their mourning into gladness: I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow".
Jeremiah 33:13

Dear family and friends, I just a few moments ago
read of the departure of Brother Joe, precious friend and co-laborer from our days together in the Ministry to the Military
in Heidelberg, Germany. I remember and treasure his GREAT FAITHFULNESS to the work of the Lord and is support of his pastor
and love for his church. I dont think I ever visited the MTTM center in Eppelheim without be greeted by the smiling face
of Brother Joe O'Neal. I was thrilled to learn that Bishop Willie Courtey, his pastor while in Germany, was scheduled
to speak at his memorial service. This is so appropriate. My deep condolences to Bro. O'Neals family. We pray that the
Holy Spirit will supernaturally comfort you in your loss and the reality of knowing our precious Brother O'Neal has been
promoted, cannot be touched by suffering and is forever rejoicing in the Presence of our Lord will motivate you to be ready
when our day comes. Thank you Brother Joseph O'Neal for your great love and kindness to me, to your family and to the
lives of the many soldiers you touched over the years. Dr. Robert A. Moore, Intl. Director, Ministry to the Military
