Joni Charlene Rice

Hi Momma! I know you know that grandma is gone to heaven with you. You know everything about all the struggles with her Alzeimers and all that. Just for everyone out there, I'm okay. I go to school and I try to bring Jesus to everyone I meet. I want to go into ministry in college at OBU!! hopefully I'll get to go there! While I don't have barely any memories of my angel mommy Joni, I love seeing pictures and videos and I always see her in the heavens with Jesus and God! thank you! I'm 17...

Donna, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Sara Ann, Lou Ann, Donna and Charlie,
My heart has been hurting so bad, the sudden departure of our very beloved Mother, daughter, sister, Wife and friend... JONI.

I have been all over Mexico for one week now, I left OKC the very night she passed, when I heard the news I could not contain the sorrow, in the middle of nowhere I-37 I cried like a little girl, it hurts so much... I have told my entire family about the whole experience and just as I felt they are so...

Joni faced the winds and walked
the good road to the day of quiet.

There is no death. . .
Only a change of worlds. . .
Only a change of worlds.

I am very happy to have been friends with Joni. She was a very positive person with a great sense of humor. I had good times jamming and studying percussion with her and Charlie. She will be missed by many.

lo siento mucho charlie,lo importante ,es que la vida sigue y vendran cosas mejores para ti y tu familia ,pa delante hermano. walter valencia.

I'm so sorry to hear about Joni. Lou Ann, Joni & Donna have all been so willing to help with nursing home entertainment in the past. She was a wonderful person and will be missed.

I met Joni through Charlie when we played salsa together in San Diego. In the few times that I spent time with her (usually as we were watching Charlie play), I found Joni to be a very talented and kind person. I was very sorry to hear of her passing and wish to express my condolences to her family.

Even though I did not have the honor of meeting her I know she inspired and will continue to inspire many musicians. Her legacy will live forever. Charlie yo se que ella esta contigo y tus seres queridos.
