Clinton and Dustie, My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family. I will forever miss my dear friend, your Mother, Joanne. I know I don’t need to tell you how loving and thoughtful your Mother was. She had love in her heart for everyone. I am so thankful I was introduced to my dear friend over 25 years ago. She was a God sent. Her love for Jesus and family was at the forefront of our conversation. She will forever live in my heart. Love and prayers always.
So sorry for your loss Dustie & family. Fly high Angel. Love you&10084;&65039;
My sympathy to Edell and all of Joann’s family. I didn’t know her well but she was always very friendly and it was a pleasure to visit with her. God blessings to all of you.
Rest in the arms of Jesus.
Dustie and Clint, so very sorry for your loss. I loved my aunt Joann and her contagious smile.She always made those around her feel special. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I always remember what a funny lady JoAnn was….such a joy to be around! She was a beautiful woman. So sorry she is no longer with us here on earth, but know she is making Heaven even more joyful.
You were the best friend anyone could ever have. It was a blessing to have known you and loved you. I will always carry the love I have for you in my heart. May God watch over your family, you precious Angel.
