So sorry for you John and Joan’s kids and family! She was a very special! We love you Joan! Love your cousin Jerry and Debbie Jones!
I will miss you my dear sister. Our relationship changed, so many time over the years, but we were always there for each other. You have been my guiding light, more times than I can count. I can’t imagine the joy, mom and da felt, when you walked through the gates. Please give them a hug for me. I’ll join you all soon, in Gods good time.
Love and prayers being sent your way.
So sorry for the loss of your mom, grandma. It’s times like these that bring good memories that help heal the hurt of the loss. The memories almost always heal the differences of many. Remember that now she is healed and in Gods arms and God will not desert anyone that calls on him.
