To the family of Ms. Kelly, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.Please accept my deep sympathy. God says since death came through a man - Adam, who sinned and brought death to all man, so the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man – Jesus, who gave his life in behalf of all mankind. Just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. The resurrection is a certainty! May you find a measure of peace in this sure promise from God ... 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22.
To Joann's family,
I'm sincerely sorry for the pain of your loss. When Jesus was on earth, he gave us a preview of what his reign as King will be like. Jesus brought Lazarus back to life at John 11:1-44, and under Christ's reign, "death will be no more" (Rev.21:4). Stay close to God so you can welcome Joann back upon her resurrection. She will be so happy to see you all.
To the family of Joann Kelly:
I am so very saddened to hear of Joann's passing. I loved her very much, and all of you as well. She was a kind woman underneath her tough skin. I was happy to be a part of her life and family.

One of the sweetest ladies we have known. We didn't get to spend much time together and when we did it was like yesterday. We will miss seeing you but I am sure we will meet down the road.
Love you.
Joann,
Determination, drive and having the spine to get up is what you taught me.
A thick skin.

I learned to love my life for its troubles and to not fear being alone.
I love you, always will.
To my family, be strong as all of you are.
Mourn her absence and smile at her memory.
