Good News! Update on Joe Sell

Cindy and Joe say thanks to all who have prayed, sent well wishes and helped out!

Good News! We have an exciting update on Joe Sell.

Joe Sell is a local mechanic in Troutville who is known by many people and a long-time resident of Botetourt County and Lord Botetourt graduate. His wife Cindy said he has had the auto business about 18 years. Joe was working late one night at his shop and had a massive heart attack on Wednesday, 01/09/2019. 

This week on Thursday, Joe received a heart and kidney transplant at the University of Virginia. His wife Cindy says, “His color is good and he is doing well. We thank the local citizens, friends and family for the many prayers, well wishes and help. Please keep in prayer the family whose loved one donated the organs in their time of grief. Consider becoming an organ donor.”

Joe has a birthday on March 6th. Send birthday cards to this extra special birthday gentleman to help Joe Sell celebrate his new lease on life!
