Dear Beth, Brian, Bruce and Donald,
We are all so very sorry to hear of my niece and our cousin Joanie's passing. I will always remember her as the most beautiful baby, a lovely young girl and a caring wife and mother. She was so good to Uncle John and I and I will miss her always. I know she is with the Lord, and now she is at peace and happy. She was a blessing to Maggie, and they are all together now. I will send a contribution to Catholic Community Services in her name. We are all so sorry that we are so far away and cannot be with you at this sad time but know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Aunt Mary, Jack and Pat Barner, Annmarie (Barner) and Ray Perechinsky, Karl and Mary (Benedict) Barner, Maggie Barner and Joe Woods and Donna (Barner) and Brian Perlee, also Mary Thompson Barner.

We will miss Joan's presence in our study group. She had been unable to be with us for some time, but her presence was always a call to be centered on God and our place in God's will.

Dear Bruce, Donald , Brian, and Beth I WAS VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF THE DEATH OF YOUR MOTHER. I was Joan's Pastor for many years and she surely was the "woman of Faith". I have no doubt that the good Lord has welcomed her into heaven . Please know that you will all be in my prayers at this sorry time. God Bless you.
