  1. Danielle, Jennifer, Jason, and Mark,

    I am so sorry for your loss. I always had a special fondness in my heart for your Mom. I thought she was one of the most amazing and special people, I had ever met. JoAnn was Kind, Caring, Gentle, Compassionate, and had the most beautiful soul. Her beauty radiated from within. I loved when she lived on State Street with us, I loved seeing her in the garden, and just listening to her stories, she found such pleasure in the little things, like a butterfly. How blessed you all are to have such an amazing, beautiful, Mom !

  2. I am very sorry for your loss. May your family find comfort in God’s promise of a paradise when there will be no more pain, sickness, or sorrow due to loss. Please accept my sincere condolence. (JW.org)
