Goodnight, my friend. I treasure the memories of the good times we had on our trips to Florida. Even now I often think about how you, Judy and me would get together on Judy's porch and "solve all the world's problems". We had good times and bad times back then, but we knew we could always count on each other.
So sing and praise God and rejoice in your peace until we catch up with you! Keep the porch light on.

Cindy,
Sincere condolences to you in the loss of your mother; I was saddened to learn of this news. I remember JoAnn fondly and her dedication to the Benton House residents -- she went above and beyond for them, and I can imagine all of those residents whom she 'mothered' have welcomed her with open arms to share their heavenly home. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.

I am so sad and sorry to hear about JoAnn. We were best friends in high school. She was a great friend and we had some fun times together. I did not know all that she had accomplished but, I am not surprised by them. Judy, you and her children are in my prayers. ❤

Although I hadn't seen Jo Ann since I graduated from Fulton High School in 1969, I remember her fondly for her humor, wit, and athleticism. May you all find comfort knowing that her earthly body has been healed of all of its afflictions and that she is now at home with our Heavenly Father.
