JoAnn was very special to me and to my family. She was my first cousin and constant companion during our young years. I will always remember the good times we have had over the years. A part of my heart left with her, to be reunited again in Heaven. I know she is running through Heaven with Jesus and her loved ones who have gone on before her. She has a new body that has no pain and I am so proud for her. She accepted Christ as her Saviour and is now in His presence. She will be missed very much by me and her other family member. I love you, JoAnn.
