Throughout this past year Joanne often discussed her love for Bruce and her grief upon his passing with me.  Our conversations always concluded wth an acknowledgement of God's goodness.  Joanne role modeled how to remain faith-filled and engaged, performing the ordinary duties of daily life with courage and a heavy heart.  She demonstrated a genuine strength for embracing life and loss one day at a time while committed to sharing her God given gifts in serving and enjoying the company of others.

I'm very saddened with the loss of my friend, Joanne and so very thankful that she graced my life. 

I pray Joanne is resting joyfully in His presence.
