Joanne, I love and miss your presence so much already. I am so blessed that the Lord brought you into mine and Alex’s life. You brought so much joy into the room and I loved how I can just ask for prayer and you prayed with your heart. I’m at peace that you’re not suffering anymore and you’re with Jesus. It’s not a good bye it’s a see you in heaven. Love you so so much.

It is with sadness in our hearts to hear of Joanns passing. We our comforted knowing she is with Jesus. Our love and prayers for Rick and the family.
Joann had a loving heart and was an excellent cook. She had a generous heart and opened her home to us. Her love for the Lord was true and genuine. I know He welcomed her with open loving arms and said “well done my good and faithful servant”.
Love Greg and Lynae Robinson
