Joann, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and above all in my prayers. All you have to do is look to the hills because that is where your help comes from. I know that you are strong in the Lord and He is the only one that can sustain you in times like these. "Earth has no sorry that Heaven cannot heal." Keep the faith and I will continue to pray with you.

Jo, words cannot express the feeling of lost i have since his passing. I feel as though i've lost my own son so i can only imagine how you must feel during this time. All i can say is "God is Still In Control" and he doesn't make mistakes. Jo i dont have to tell you much about our Heavenly Father because you already know him "very well" and I also know that because you have a one on one relationship with him you alredy know that all things happen for a reason and we should not lean to our own understanding but just TRUST GOD for everything. I know that you will get through this as you have already gotten through many other trials and tribulations in your past. I dont have to tell you to be strong because I already know that you are and will always be a strong believer in Christ Jesus. You already know where to turn for your help and strength and you already know that he will never leave you or forsake you. You already have the best resource in your life and that's Jesus Christ!!!So I'll just say I Love You. Be Blessed my Sista!!!
