Dear Gordy & Family,
We were shocked to hear of JoAnn's passing. Just want you to know we are thinking of you and may the wonderful memories of JoAnn be with you always. I think I played at your wedding. We go way back....we are now living in Menahga, MN. We own and operate a B & B right in town on Spirit Lake. Stop in sometime if you are ever in the area. Again our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Sharon & Family,
So sorry to hear of Joanne's death.
I worked with your mom at PBA for quite a few years (and you too). I have many good memories. Your mom was a neat person. We now live in Sun City AZ near Phoenix so I won't be able to attend the funeral but all of you are in my prayers. Winona Stewart

God created the perfect little package when Auntie Jo Jo was born. Her love and devotion to her family and friends was deep and joyful. Her energy and cute smile were contagious. She is missed deeply.

Lisa,

I just happened to see the notice on your mom's passing, while looking for another. I am sorry to hear about your loss. I have fond memories of your mom from our trip to Chicago in '87. I wish you peace during this difficult time...

Miksi suret sieluni kallis...(in Finnish)...Blk Song Bk #184...says it all...Thou Bride of Jesus Dear. It is HE that we live 'here' for and 'there for' is our reward...by God's grace and mercy through Jesus Christ. Fortunate are God's chosen Children. Keep "singing JoAnn" we too will join you in OUR time, the "Children of God though scattered around"...#17 who have the 'victory.' God's Peace...to you...is our salute to this everlasting Peace...IN JESUS CHRIST.
