11/12/21 To my dear Aunt Joan, You have moved on to be with the Lord, to live in glory with the author and finisher of our faith, to be reunited with your brother, your nephew, your husband and those who have moved on before you. You have fought the good fight and finished the race, and now in peace where love abounds you rest and rejoice in He who made you, He who formed you in your mother's womb, He who knew you from the beginning and called you by name. I know your life here had many challenges and trials, but by the grace of God you stayed strong, and He never let you go. I am so blessed to know that even though for a time you made your way through life like so many of us trying to be in control, you realized that control was not real and surrendered to the Lord once again, and trusted in Him to guide you and bring you closer to your family and to him.

You were such a blessing to me, I loved our times together and will treasure them always. You made me l augh and cracked jokes with me as we shared or life stories with each other. As we sat on my parent's back porch each night looking at the houses on the other side of the lake, you in your funny way named the different areas; where we sat was Queen Mary's Lookout, across where all the ducks gathered was Duck Haven, where the sun first hit in the morning was Sunrise Lane, where the houses stayed lit until 1-2am was Happy Hours Cove, and where the houses were tucked away was Hidden Acres. I will miss those times and laughs we shared so much. I love how much of an inspiration you were, a go getter for sure. You loved to do so many things: painting, crocheting, sewing, cooking, studying, and more. You inspire me to live life to the fullest and to not waste a single moment as life is precious and far too short. You were wise and caring and loved to teach and give me guidance during some of my most difficult times. You loved your family deeply and wanted the best for them. You were a blessing to my brother David and he adored you so much and I know how much you loved and adored him. May the joy and the love you shared be remembered in our hearts always. Revelations 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. I will love you and miss you so much, until we meet in Glory. Your Niece, Christine
