I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt JoAnn. Will be keeping all of you in my prayers and thoughts. I won’t be able to come to the funeral home this weekend , I’m laid up with my ankle, I’m still no weight-bearing. She was a wonderful person and was great to work with.
My dear aunt Joanne was also a treasured friend. I appreciated her way of looking at life and her deep faith. I remember so many breakfasts and dinners at her house over the years. Her deep love for her children and grandchildren was always evident. She was so proud of you all. You are in my prayers. May God console you.
