Our beautiful boy, Joseph Ray Moak, was born on Feb. 23, 2016 at just 25 weeks gestation. He weighed 1 pound 2 ounces and was 12 inches long at birth, yet he was a fighter. He continuously amazed everyone that met him with his tiny yet fierce personality. He quickly became not only the light in our life, but also that of our family, friends and community. Our hearts are broken, yet we know with time and prayers, we will see our little man again one sweet day. A memorial service was at Blanchard St Denis Funeral Home Tuesday, March 15. Visitation was from 9-10 a.m. with services immediately following. Graveside service was at Rocky Mount Cemetery in Robeline. He joined his three other siblings (early miscarriages) and his paternal grandfather, Joseph Rowen Moak, Sr. in heaven on March 12, 2016.
