Aunt Joann I will miss you with all my heart. You truely had a good heart and listened and help me with some guidance when no one else was there to listen. I am truely devestated, you truely fought for life over the past 2 1/2 yrs. and somehow just knowing you where still here made me feel ok. I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart and part of me until the day I pass and hopefully we will get to see each other again, if my elevator goes up. lol I know you will be around us all in spirit and I will talk to you in my prayers. I hope heaven is more than you could ever dream of, and with your sparkle and heart added I know it will be even better, and definitely better decorated. Remember I will always love you more than you will ever know, you were like my second mom.
Love always,
your nephew Frankie

Dear Margie...
Donna and I extend our deepest sympathy to you, Frank and Joann's family.
A sunset on earth is a sunrise in Heaven. We are very sorry to hear of her passing. We pray that your memories give you comfort and faith provides you with strength during the days ahead.
Rest assured that she is in Heaven, with no pain, and, that she has 'Touched the Face of God.'
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.
1 CORINTHIANS 2:9 NIV
You have our deepest sympathy, Amen!

Take care of yourself and remember all the good times and that will help to ease the pain over the next few days..
