Dear Cleary Family,

My deepest condolences on the passing of your mom and grandmother. She was very dear to my heart. I have great memories growing up and will always smile when I hear the name "Joanie".

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

God Bless, Joan
