My sympathies to Mrs. Corder’s family: Ecclesiastes 3:12 tells us that there is nothing better ...than to rejoice and to do good during one’s life. As you celebrate her life you can be confident of God’s assurance that soon all sickness and death will be no more, (Isaiah 25:8; 33:24). Almighty God, can ‘comfort you’ (Isaiah 51:12).

My sweet friend finally closed the curtain on me for the final time. My heart aches for each and every one of you. She was a very special lady and I will always cherish our memories. She made Krista her first Christmas stocking and we have been hanging it up for 26 years now. I also still have the quilts your grandmother made for me. I hope you find comfort in knowing that she was loved by many.
Love and Prayers,
Teresa

My condolences to her family! JoAnna and I attended school together when she lived in Haskell, Oklahoma for a while. We were very good friends. She moved back to Arkansas after 10th grade, in 1971. I later went to spend some of the summer with her and her mom. We had a blast! We eventually lost touch but reconnected on Facebook. JoAnna made a couple of Christmas tree ornaments that she sent me and I will treasure them forever! Rest in peace my dear friend!
