I send my deepest sympathy to Cindy, Kevin, and the extended family for the loss of their dear JoAnn. What a sweet, compassionate lady. I can still hear her heart-felt laughter as she went about her tasks joyfully in the church and community. A loss so great can leave such a emptiness, yet the memories of a life of service and devotion will comfort during this time. Please know my childhood in our small community was richer for having known JoAnn.
Thoughts and prayers for your family. I am granddaughter to Jerry. Your mother was special in grandpa’s heart. God Bless
To JoAnn’s family:
JoAnn and Allan were such lovely and friendly people. Although we did not know them for enough years, we loved the time we had with them.
We pray for all of you.
