Jones/Clark Family,
You all are in my thoughts and prayers Ms. Joanne was a very sweet lady who loved everybody. Allison and Alonza I know how it is to lose your mom its very hard but remember to keep God first and everything else will fall in place. Family is what means the most so stay together and pray, you never really understand why but just know she is in a better place and she is not suffering anymore. If you need to talk you know how to reach me. Mrs. Joan, Ms. Becky, and Mrs. Sherry keep your heads up and keep holding up the light and the great example that you always set for the little ones. I Love You All and miss you and I hope that I can see you all soon. Your family is forever in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Jones/Clark families: There are simply no words to truly express the sadness I felt when I received the word of the passing of your daughter, sister, mother and my cousin "Josie".

Please know that I am praying for your strength and that God will give you peace during this difficult time and in the days ahead.

From day one of meeting Joanne many years ago....she had this very gentle spirit about her. She never seemed to let life bother her as much as it did others. She was always gentle and joyful at the same time. I know she will be greatly missed by all. I pray comfort as well as the blessing of peace for the family and friends of Joann....
