I love you grandma. You were so strong and fought through so much illnesses. You were taken too young and no one was ready for you to leave. ❤

JoAnn is my youngest sister of the four and half sisters GOD gave me. Jo was always the quieter one, didnt always know what she was thinking. I remember a time when all of us kids were still young and adventitous, I built this sort of box derby thing. It was just a long plank with wheels, front wheels you could steer with your feet. We lived on a very steep street, I had enough insight that wouldn't be a good street to take a test run. Its was a good thing someone might of got killed. So all of us took this rocket to the street at the bottom of our street which wasn't as steep. We all sat in line on that long plank I was the driver and placed JoAnn in my lap, she was quite little at that time. We took off and got to going faster and faster then it acured to me there wasn't any breaks. The only thing I could think of is to run the wheels along the cement curb to slow us down. Ohhh bad ideal, the front wheels and board axil slamed against the plank and shot us all out into the grass. Since I had Jo in my lap I gave her an extra ejection and she shot somewhere out into the grass. I was the only one hurt got my leg between axil and plank. The girls hauled me on the rocket home. The main thing I remember the most is my little sister wasn't hurt. Later in life I was blessed to look out for Jo when I got to share JESUS with her and she now is always being protected. I will see her again hope you do too.
