It is hard to realize that our vibrant, smiling friend, Joan, has passed on to her heavenly home. We dearly loved her cheerful wit and gentle ways as a greeter every Wednesday morning for our group, At The Master’s Feet. Please accept our sincere condolences.

P.S. Your Mom’s picture is beautiful.
Sue, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I’m sure your head is telling you that your Mom is in a better place now…it’ll just take your heart a while to embrace that message.
I’m thinking of you & wish you all the best during this hard time.

Brian and I send our prayers and deepest condolences to you and your family. What a wonderful example your Mom was of a Godly women who served God with her whole heart. I wil miss seeing her on Sunday mornings when you could see the joy on her face when she was singing and listening to the service as well as when she watched the children dance beside her. She will be greatly missed and heaven has received a treasure. Praying for God’s strength, joy and peace.
Dear Sandy and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. My Father passed away almost 2 years ago and I know how you are feeling. Hopefully, all the wonderful memories of your Mom will help in the days to come.
Thinking of you.

Dear Wood family,
I am so sorry for your loss I cant even begin to know what you are going through at this time. One of the things that I have found to be a great source of comfort at this time is the thoughts found in the bible at John 5:28,29 we see that God is going to bring our loved ones back to life it is my sincere hope that these thoughts bring your family comfort at this time. Once again I am so sorry for your loss.
Dear Sandy, Gus and family,
We are all so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. Know that you are all in our thoughts.
Sincerely,
The Hardings

My deepest condolences. My you find comfort and support in your memories of happier times. Thinking of you all.
I am so sorry that I was unable to express my condolences in person today but between horrible roads and the flu I was unable to make it into London. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of all of you at this sad time. It is so hard, but at least you know that she is in a better place. Having lost my own mom 9 years ago this month to cancer I understand your pain. I am glad that my kids were able to make it to see you and let you know we care.
Cathy

Hi Sandy and Gus, I just learned of Joan passing this afternoon after the funeral from someone just arriving at your house. Kate and I are sorry for your loss that came so quick.

On behalf of the all of the Deacons, we are saddened to learn of your loss. We all remember fond times and memories of your Mom on Pinewood; I remember her sitting on the front porch and timing us running laps around the block and cheering us on… Thinking of you at this time.
