So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the
words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 "(3) With that I heard
a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God
is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they
will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
(4 ) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and
death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry
nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

To Joanie's Family, Children and her precious Grandchildren. Heaven has a brand new Angel and I'm sure she's already serving the Lord. Joanie the most loving and caring person to all especially our Veterans. She honored and served them with dignity and compassion. There are many sober today because of her professional knowledge, encouragement and hope for everyone of them. She has already been greatly missed on 3L we know there will never be another one like Joanie. Family walk in Love and Honor of such a great Woman. And she could tell the funniest stories. I honor the memory of Joanie Briggs
God Bless, Deborah Small.
