I'm sending my condolences to the family of Pastor Jo Ann Juniel. My name is Minister Gracie Belin from Milwaukee, Wisconsin where my mother was Rosie Lee Juniel-Belin. Jo Ann looks so much like my mother. Yes, she has many more relatives on this end. Well, we know that one day, when we all get to Heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be!

Pastor JoAnn will be deeply missed in our congregation at Rancho Cordova United Methodist Church. Her sermons were the best we've ever heard. She truly was speaking through the Holy Spirit and inspired us all. We know that God was pleased with her service.
"Well done, good and faithful servant" Matthew 25:21.

I remember whenever Reverend JoAnn came to Milwaukee for our family reunions, she always had a beautiful smile communicated in such a kind and caring way. She's now Resting In Eternal Peace.

I am so sorry to hear that JoAnn has passed away. There is comfort in knowing she is with the Lord and heaven is now her home.

Although I have not kept in touch over the years, there are many fond memories of growing up in McCloud. Whenever we get together the Juniel kids always come up in conversation. You guys were special!

My thoughts to the family.
