Joanna Byrd

Patti and other McGee sisters, I´m thinking of y´all in this season of remembering your kind and beautiful sister. I´m thankful that you have sweet memories.

Thinking of you as I know Patti is missing you still greatly. Beautiful lady!

Patti, I know this is always a tough time for you. Remember that you have many who love you and lift you in their prayers. Also think of the many good memories you have of your beautiful Joanna and focus on the fact that you had 22 extra years with her because of the gift of life someone else gave her. She gave her physical heart to someone else and served well while here. Think on those blessings she gave and hope this will give you joy. Love you!

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. I am just now discovering that Joanna had passed away several years ago. I was going through some boxes that I had kept letters in and found some that she had written 45 years ago when she was going to Birmingham Southern College. Joanna was a very loving and affectionate young lady and I am glad that I knew her for a while. I remember that she liked the writing of Kahil Gibran and introduced me to his works. I feel all the more blessed for having known...

Still remembered and always loved!

David, William, Richard, and MEByrd. I am very sad for you each, but am full of joy for you each and for Joanna at the same time. She is where we all want to be now, even though she is not with us here. You are offered up in prayer every day. Take care.

We remember every visit with Joanna here at the Gulf and Joanna touched our hearts in a way that noone else has ever done. She shared her boys and David with us so so many time, and we will always cherish our memories of Joanna.God Bless her family and we love them all. Joan and Mark

Dear Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Joanna was a wonderful inspiration. I know she was thankful to God daily for the opportunity to see her children mature into adulthood. Angela
