To My Spiritual Daughters,
Your mom is to be forever missed. We all had special memories and reasons to love her but her enduring faith in these past few years made her stand out among many. She fought hard to conquer a terrible sickness, but she fought even harder to keep her integrity to Jehovah and leave for you dear girls a spiritual heritage that should never be forgotten. We love you dearly and look forward to the time when we will see your mom, my friend Liz face to face.

Dear Joanna, Missy, and the Morocco family,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I only met her a few times, but I knew the first time I met her that she was an astounding woman. She was always so kind and her faith so strong. I truely admired her as I do both of you. I know the pain that you and your family are going through and my heart goes out to all of you. May Jehovah's holy spirit comfort, strengthen and guide you through this difficult time. I pray that your faith and Jehovah's love may heal you all in time.

To Joanna and the Morroco family. I am so sorry to hear that your Mom lost her battle to cancer. I remember the day I met you at my daughter's home (Brenda Bonvin). I had lost my husband to cancer a few months before and you had already lost your dad. I was so impressed by your strength and kindness. There you were out giving of yourself and helping us deal with our grief when you had so much of your own to deal with. You are one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Please know that I feel your pain. May Jehovah give you and your family the strength and the ability to heal.

Hold on to that promise, for it is real, when both your mom and dad will awaken to a beautiful paradise with no more pain, surrounded by their lovely children and grandchildren. We love you,
