Our sympathies to Joel’s family. I remember when he was born – at the time Pat and the other boys were going to school in Medora, ND. His folks were neighbors for many years.
Ken Ziebarth says
Surprised and sad to hear of the passing of a young cousin I hardly knew.
Pat & Bob Corbin says
Jay and all the Nunn family, so sorry to hear about Joel. We hope the Lord will hold you all close and help during this time.
J Johnson says
Dear family of Joel Nunn – Please be comforted by the great memories of Mr. Nunn and by the sure hope of Bible promises that will be fulfilled. In the Bible book of Genesis, we notice that God intended for mankind to live in perfect conditions in the Garden of Eden, which was a paradise where everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Suffering and death were not a part of God’s purpose but was introduced through Adam’s disobedience (Romans 5:12). There will come a time when the dead are resurrected (John 5:28, 29) and death will be done away with (Revelation 21:4). Please I hope you are comforted by Bible promise which gives us hope (John 17:3).
Ann Johnson says
