February 14, 2012 at 12:10 pmThe family of the late Joan Joudrey,
It is with sadness that I am writing this note to you.Both Terry and I enjoyed being around Joan,she always carried on with nice conversation and love of others.
The message in the Bible meant so much to her and she always shared it with others. There will be a time when God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more,taken from Rev 21: 4 and until that time Joan is resting as John 5: 28,29 tells us there will be a resurrection of the ones resting in death.
At that time Joan and so many other family members that have passed away will live in peaceful conditions here on the earth once again. Until that time may you take comfort in knowing we care and are thinking of you.
Warm Christian love

So sorry to hear about your loss. I know just what you are going though having just lost my dad on Friday. It is never easy to lose a parent but most of us must endure this at some time in our life. Hold the boys close to you and share your memories with them so they can always feel their grandmother is near. Take care. Hugs to you all!

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Joan’s death. She used to visit the house to talk about her faith. While here she always talked about the boys with a big smile on her face. On occasion I would share a funny story about Keith or Adrian and she would laugh. She really loved her grandsons. God Bless.
