To the family. I am deeply saddened by the grief that you are feeling.
Knowing of God’s embracing love for you, continue to look to him when ” He will wipe all tears from our eyes, death, suffering, pain, and crying will be no more. – Revelation 21:3, 4
He says death is an ” enemy that will be brought to nothing. ” – 1 Corinthians 15:26
How comforting to know that this will be a thing of the past and through Christ Jesus a resurrection for our loved ones.

love,

I worked with Joanne at vocational rehab. It was my first job. I knew I had a true friend the day I met her. I tried calling her for her 80th birthday. We had a great conversation around Christmas.
We shared many laughs, and hers was unique. I will miss her.
My prayers for Debbie and family.

Catherine and Family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time. I worked with Joanne for almost 9 years at Rehab and considered her a dear friend. May she rest in peace.
