Please accept my deepest sympathy. I am no longer working at St. Jude but a former co-worker called to tell me that Joelle had passed away. I was devastated as she was one of my favorite patients and you all were a very special family. May God encompass you with comfort as you grieve. Again I am so sorry to hear this news.

We didn't speak much, in fact I thought you hated me, but you always brightened up a room when you walked in. Willing to help anyone who needed it, you were an amazing person. People looked up to you, people in the grades below us wanted to be you. I hope wherever you are now you're still smiling.

It was hard to process when I found out about Joelle's passing. Although I had not seen Joelle since high school, I remember seeing her in the halls being friendly and always smiling and laughing.
My condolences to her family, it must be hard to lose a loved one at such a young age. May the love and support of friends and family carry you through your grief.
Rest in Peace, Joelle.

You always the greatest smile and the biggest heart. I remember you talking to me when no one else would and you were always so open and nice to me. If I needed help, you were there for me. Your love, friendliness and care will never be forgotten and your spirit will live on through your family, friends and former classmates. My condolences to her family and friends.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message. Though I had not seen Joelle since high school, I will always remember her laugh and our daily bus rides home. My sincere condolences go out to her loved ones. What a tragedy this is. I pray for your purposeful grieving in this difficult time and that you always cherish the happy memories you have of her.
She made everyone smile and left a mark on all of our lives, and will never be forgotten.

It is with great sadness that I read of the passing away of Joelle. I remember meeting her one time in your office. She was about 14. Life is not always fair and just and it is devastating for a parent to bear witness to such a tragedy. Be strong not only for yourself but also for the father and her siblings who are also suffering as much as you are.
I will remember Joelle in my prayers.
My sincere condolences, ken helal
P.S. Unfortunately, I am out of Town Friday and will not be able to attend.
