Dear Phil, Philip, Yolande, and the Runels family,

You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I only had a few opportunities in spending time with Joan. I felt the love she has for all her family and friends, especially for all her grandchildren by traveling and visiting them all the time. And her faith when she asked me to put prayer requests in my church for her friends even when she was facing health challenge. While we go through this sorrowful journey, there is Hope, one day we all will see her again by the Lord's side.

Love and Prayers,

My thoughts and prayers to all of the family. I am thankful for the opportunity to have met and shared time with her here in California. Take comfort in knowing to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God bless all of you.
