My deepest sympathy.. I loved Joanie and she was a special lady I pray that God will help her family today and the days to come. Rest in peace my dear friend
Joanie was my little Sister. I always thanked God for making us Sisters. I had her for 50 years. She was the most adorable baby, little girl, teenager and I watched her grow into a beautiful woman. We were best friends and confidants all our life with a ‘Sister’ bond greater than normal sharing absolutely everything. My heart is crushed. If Joanie could say anything it would be ‘Hallelulah, Praise God and rejoyce. I’m with Jesus and God and not sick anymore so be happy.’ I’m trying to hang onto that. Thank God we will still be Sister’s in Heaven and someday together again forever.
Expressions of grief, shock, saddness and tears have pulled sharply on Flagstaff hearts as we have shared in the loss of our dear, sweet friend Joanie. A reprieve of awe and wonder has gently covered us knowing she is with our King. She shared her amazing passion of worship and shared our Lord’s heart with each of us. Genuine. Loving. Faithful. The garments of heaviness have been replaced forever with royal robes of Praise and Thanksgiving. Prayers of peace, comfort, strength and hope are lifted up to you Ian, Josh and Greg. ‘May His face shine upon you,’ and may He touch your hearts with His tender love always.

My sincere condolences to you and your loved ones during
this difficult time. Unfortunately, nothing can fully prepare us for the loss
of a parent, a spouse, or a child. A tragedy may strike unexpectedly or unfold
relentlessly. Whatever the case, the pain of death cannot be eluded, and its
finality can be devastating. The Bible shares a wonderful resurrection hope for future. I pray that you find comfort
in God’s Word at John 5:28, 29.
Greg, Josh, and Ian – I just read on Facebook of Joanie’s passing, and I wanted to share my sympathies. I don’t know if you remember me, but we were neighbors in Newnan, Ga and Joanie was a light in my life. I was so lonely at home with 3 toddlers and she reached out to make friends. She will be forever in my heart and I am glad to know she is know longer suffering in this physical plane. She was truly an angle on Earth and is still an angel in heaven.
