JoAnn was a good neighbor and friend. She loved the Lord, her family, her friends, and her church. Many times over the last several years we shared our thoughts about our common faith and hope in Jesus Christ. When I think of Joann now, I recall 2 TIMOTHY 4:7-8......She fought the good fight; she finished the race; she kept the faith.
