Sending sympathy

I am so sad to read of JoAnne's passing, but at the same time, I rejoice that she is no longer suffering and has jumped into the arms of Jesus. I prayed for her for a long time, and I will continue to hold Kieth in my prayers.

Kieth, sorry to hear of your loss. I only met JoAnne a few times but I'm sure she was a great lady.

A Sweet Friend

JoAnne was one of the sweetest classmates of the BHHS class of '66. She was honest, caring, and kind. I know she loved the Lord and rejoice that she is healed and in His presence. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Keith, and with all the family.         Laurie Trexler

A wonderful neighbor

JoAnne was always so kind to my sister and to me, two noisy little girls who moved in next door in 1990 and always wanted to play with her dogs. She lovingly watched us grow and always to an interest in our journeys, even after we had both moved far away. She attended my wedding and took joy in seeing my children when they visited their grandparents. She was such a sweet, kind woman and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. A little something will be missing whenever I visit my parents.

Kieth, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Please know that even though we can't be there in person for the funeral, we are with you in our hearts. Your friends, family, and neighbors are here for whatever you need.
