My prayers and thoughts to all of you. I enjoyed working with Jonnie in the Medicare/Anthem years past. She was a wonderful friend, I can still hear her laugh. I was saddened to learn of passing on; however, I sure have great memories of us working together. May God Bless you all with comfort in the days ahead.

How saddened I am to hear of Jonnie's passing but I rejoice in the fact that I know she is in Heaven right now smiling down upon us all with those beautiful eyes. I met Jonnie while working at her drs office. I thank God for the times that I shared with her, her tears, her fears and her joy over her grandchildren. My prayers are with you all as you embark on the next journey of life with her as your angel. God Bless.

Melissa, Michael and Steve, I worked with Jonnie at Anthem a few years ago. She was a wonderful lady and I enjoyed her company and her sunny outlook even if things weren't going her way. She was a good friend and told me often how much she loved her family. I was saddened to hear of her passing so young. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. Her cheerful smile and presence will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. May you find peace and comfort in your memories of your lives together while she graced our presence here on Earth. God Bless you all.
