Dearest Carrie...So sorry to hear about your mother. It saddened my heart when I heard the news.

We will sure miss joann. Hard to believe she has passed. She was a great friend and am sorry we didn’t get to spend some time together after We retired from FEB.
Carrie Stewart and Phillip I'm so sorry to hear about Joanne it just breaks my heart. At times like this you just don't know what to say. Joanne was a very very sweet lady I thought so much of her but you know one way you can look at it, if it's any consolation at all she's with Ross now where she's probably wanted to be several times since his passing she'll be able to see him and that little boy that she lost. I remember several times in church she would just get up and walk out of church and I just knew why she couldn't stay it was heartbreaking she's a very special lady and she will certainly be missed. All my love and prayers Shirley dunigan.

Joann was my best friend when we were at Piney Grove School and at Blantons Grove Church of God. We spent many nights at each other's homes. I knew her when she and Ross were dating. So many memories, but God saw fit to call her home. I send prayers and sincere condolences to her family. RIP Joann with Ross and your son!

Aunt Jo has always held a special place in my part. I loved when she would come down to visit grandmama and I would get to see her. It was especially wonderful seeing the two of them together. Aunt Jo will be missed by myself and the many in her family/friends that knew her and loved her.
Love, Mallary McGahee
