    Dear Wayne and Family, I was so sorry to hear the sad news of Joanie’s passing. I have lots of good memories of Joanie when we were both much younger, then so pleased we re-connected years later when we both were visiting back in our hometown. Joanie was a lovely kind person and I know she will be missed by anyone who knew her. I had the pleasure if meeting up with you and Joanie a few years back in Fremont when you took me to lunch. I’m so glad I had that chance to see you both. I send my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

    Wayne and family our prayers are with you during this trying time. Joanie was a special person to me and for years we talked everyday (when I could get thru) and was so glad I got to see her last year. I am truly going to miss her but so look forward to meeting up with her in heaven as I know that is where she is. God be with you all as you start the mending process of that hole in your heart but I know Joanie prayed for you every day and will be waiting for you when it’s your turn to go home.

    Dear family,

    Joan was one of my closest friends. I will miss her more than words can express. The times we spent together in fellowship, going to blue-grass music jams, playing board games, and most of all worship services are precious memories.

    My deepest condolences to you.

    I am so sad to hear of Joanie’s passing. My mom was a good friend of hers, and I knew her as well through mom, and working in the same department at Whirlpool, I always remember seeing her walk past with always a sweet smile, truly a great, sweet lady. I pray for comfort to her husband, and family.
