Dear JoAnne, Allen and Family,
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your mother, JoAnne. I have many fond memories of your mom and I can still picture her in your "growing up" home on Paddock Drive. She worked so hard and loved you so much and I know she was exceedingly proud of what you accomplished. May your fond memories of her help you through this difficult time. With much love,

You are in our prayers and thoughts at this time of your loss..
May our God surround each of you with comfort and peace.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Mom would ask about her many times and wondered how she was.
Grace, Peace, and Love, Janet and Mildred Lockstampfor
