Joel D. Abbott,

Our church is praying for your family and friends.

Joel and I worked together at MES for many years. He was a great friend.

A wonderful Christain man who will be missed by all who knew and loved him! But we know where he is and will see him again someday!

We want to thank the staff and residents at The Crossings in Malvern for taking good care of Joel and for making his last year so pleasant. Joel really enjoyed the activities, field trips, and made many friends at The Crossings. We are at peace knowing Joel is now in his heavenly home. John and Mimi Abbott

Prayers for the family. Mr. Joel was a wonderful man. He was always smiling and cared for each of us like we were his children no matter how old we were. I loved listening to stories about his family and his childhood. One thing I remember very well is he wanted to learn to read. He would share with me how much he learned. I was proud of him. He will be missed. We loved you Mr. Joel here at Malvern Elementary School. Pam Plummer

Dear Family, sorry for your loss. Joel and I worked together many years in the Malvern School District. He will be greatly missed.

I went to Pratt with Joel, so I've actually known him since we were little. Joel was always so friendly and would do anything for you. He will be missed! Love ya Joel!

Joel..you were and always be a ray of sunshine to all who knew you. I take great comfort in knowing you are with your maker and I will see you again in that big beautiful mansion in the sky. God bless.. you are free

Very sorry to hear about the loss of Joel. I had the privilege of deer hunting with him and his dad John for many years. Even though he had some physical challenges, I'll never forget that Joel was friendly to everyone and almost always had a smile on his face. May God bless his family with sweet memories of a wonderful man now gone to be at home in Heaven.

R.I.P. Joel you will be missed , thanks for being such a good friend
