Condolences

May God provide your family with the courage and strength to live your life in honor of Joanne and the wonderful way she has raised and nurtured every child, grandchild and great-grandchild. Take comfort in the fact that she is reunited with her sweetheart once again, my Uncle Clyde. Joanne, thank you for caring about me enough to send me cards for each birthday and Christmas and for our hour-long phone calls to catch up and share stories. Through you, I lived close to your family and always felt in touch. I always felt you understood and you were there to listen to me. I will miss you greatly. Thank you for loving my Mom, who enjoyed your company so, and for being an Aunt to my children too. Even with six children and their families, you still had time for us. We all loved you very much, and your absence will be a gap in our family. Rest in peace after a dedicated life of caring for your family, whom you lived for. Love, Jewell B. Jewell Bailey
We are praying that the God of all comfort would be with the family, strengthen and keep you during this difficult and trying time. Jesus loves you very much! Jesse and Angela Rankins
