Joanne was my first cousin and I loved her very much. It is so comforting to know she is no longer in pain as she has gone to receive the rewards she worked so hard for. Her gain is our loss.

In the short time that I knew Miss Joanne personally as a member of First Coast Baptist Church, I was blessed by her friendship and Christian testimony. She was a wonderful lady who could touch someone's life in the simplest of ways which made an everlasting impact. My love and prayers are expressed to her entire family as they grieve her loss while acknowledging Heaven's gain.

Warren, Bruce and Debra: What a blessing it was for me to have known Joanne. She will never know what an inspiration and blessing she was to me until I meet her again and I am able to tell her face to face. I know your lives will have a void but I pray that God will fill it with his love and comfort. It has been a long time since we have seen each orher but I know one day we will have a great reunion in the sky. May God richly bless and comfort you in the days to come is my prayer.

The service Saturday was beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know she's in a better place now, out of pain. I'm sure Uncle Harlin was there to meet her and take her home. Take care, Candy (Sorrells) Ingram

It was such a pleasure to take care of Mrs. Snead even for such a short time. I enjoyed our talks at night while she was my patient. I know how much she loved her family. May she rest in peace.

Joann was a precious lady and loved
God with all her heart, my memories
of her go all the way back to
Beaver St. Baptist Church and from
then until God called her home was a
life of inspiration and devotion to her
family and her God. She has left a
legacy that will live for others to
follow. Condolences to the family
as she has now inherited the
mansion that God promised to His
children.

Joanne ministered her whole life and is a true inspiration. As a friend recently shared, when a treasure becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Our whole church family at First Coast Baptist loved her and Joanne will be missed greatly.

Joanne was such a dear, sweet lady. When I was going through a rough time in my life she took the time to talk and pray with me. She was such a strong, Christian woman. She will always be held close in my heart. She is no longer in pain and is with Jesus Christ now.
