I am so very sad to hear this news. My heart hurts for her dear family. Never in my wildest dreams did I think her turn on earth would end this soon. I am beyond surprised and feel deeply saddened.
I will always remember her tender sweetness and the kind things she said to me. She opened her heart and brought comfort to us during a very difficult time of life. I wasn't ready to tell her good-bye.
May the Lord extend a special blessing of comfort to her husband and children right now. We loved you, JoAnn!

I'm saddened to hear about Aunt JoAnn's passing. She will be missed although we all know she has gone on to a much better place. I will always remember her for her sweet spirit, her encouraging words, and her loving smile...until we meet again.
