I am so sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear about the loss of another cousin. I did not have the pleasure of knowing her. My thoughts and prayers for the family.
I am heartbroken for the loss of JoAnn. She was a part of our family so long I barely remember a time without her. She was a very special lady, a wonderful sister-in-law and a trusted friend. Sending prayers to Keith and the family. I regret circumstances prevented me being there for the funeral.
Rest In Peace Jo Ann
A person's legacy can be wonderfully told by the character of their children. Russell Tibbs is a patient, hard working, dedicated, loving father and husband. He lives a life of Christian service. His life speaks to the character of his mother, Mrs. Tibbs. Every mother and father should be so blessed to have Mrs. Tibbs children. I am certain that if we do gain crowns to give to our Lord, Mrs. Tibbs crown will be ornate with the gems of her children.
There are no words to begin to express how much Aunt JoAnn meant to me. She was my favorite Sunday School teacher growing up, my favorite cook, and my favorite weekend destination when Mom said we were going out of town. I hate that I'm not able to make it to celebrate her home-going, but, please know that I will be praying for you all during the upcoming weeks and months. Love to all.
So sorry I can’t make it for the funeral. I loved her so much ever since Keith brought her into our family 65 years ago. A wonderful sister in law and much loved friend. Love to all.
Praying for all of you.
