Not sure what to say?





Those days when you feel like you have let everyone down....Aunt Jo would never bat an eye just smile hug and offer a kiss for the cheek.
Thank you for always offering love in place of judgement

To all of you who knew my big sister Joanne. I am now 66 years old and Joanne was 70. I was so blessed to grow up with a big sister watching over me.I came to realize about my very young years on this earth that much of what was shaped in me was due to having a loving sister around. As I became a man with my own family, I realized what it ment to follow Jesus and have a servants heart from my big sister. My last words to you here on earth were, "I'll see you later." I will be home soon
