John, There really aren't words at a time like this. Joanne was so warm and loving. You both did so much to support other families around the MDA orbit, even while facing your own challenges. Just want you to know how much your friendship has meant to me, and that Cheryl, Ryan and I are thinking of your whole family. Peace.
John and family- Laurie and I are saddened by the loss of your beautiful bride. Her generosity and joyful spirit will be missed by many. John- you’ll be in our prayers; and may peace be with you as you move forward. All our love to you in this most difficult time.
Joanne, I’m going to miss you! Your loving smile and kind heart extended even to friends in Montana. John, I’m praying for you. God is always up to something in this life and He’ll use this too for His glory. Love you!
I remember Joanna very well.
I went to Jr. High school and High School with Joanna and her sister Dianne. I considered them to be my friends. I even walked to their house once. I hope to see her again one day when my time comes. God bless her family.
John,
My love and prayers.
I always appreciated how you and Joanne always accepted me in my journey, not judging, just loving.
