A Message from JoAnn,

My life has been filled with love, laughter and fun,
I’m now with my loved ones, reunited as one.

I have been blessed with wonderful family and friends,
it’s comforting to know that one day we’ll be together again.

Keep me close in your hearts and remember the happy times,
know that I Love You All and everything will be fine.

My mission now is to watch over you,
from up above in the clouds from the sky so blue.

When you really need me, you know I’ll be here,
simply go to sleep, dream and I will appear;
or you can talk to me and know that I will hear.

This is the time for tears of happiness,
remember to celebrate the great times and nothing less.

It’s time to pick up a glass and make a special toast
and know that throughout my life
YOU HAVE ALL MEANT THE MOST!


I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER!

Love,

JoAnn
