My best friend, Joann, has had a huge tragedy just unfold in her life.... as if she doesn't have enough going on already. She lost her step-mother last Tuesday and then, Thursday of this week (two days ago) she lost her dad unexpectedly and tradgicallly. Her father was a very funny man. He made us laugh often. I stayed with him and Joann alot when I was younger, and we had LOTS of rules to follow so that the house was kept in "tip-top" shape, but he was a very fun-loving and generous man. We miss him very very much!! My daughter Kayla beame very close to him in the last several years also and so did my daughter Teasha. He was a very special man to us. Words cannot express our love for him and now our devastation.

Please, lift up, especially Joann in prayer and her 5 month old son Strider as they go through such an enormous transition and lots of emotions during this time.

"Lord, give us all the strength and courage to get through this time of sadness. Give us your hope to hold on to. Let your hand be upon all of us that loved Joey so much, but especially, my dear sister and friend Joann. Bless us with your peace, sweet Jesus. In your name, Amen."

J.J. I am so sorry - for both you and Joanne. I will be praying - I know it is a hard time. I am so sad to hear about it. I know that Satan will try his best to use it to trip Joanne up - but we will stand in the gap for her. Please give her my love -and email me an address to send her a card or note or something just to let her know I am thinking of her. (julientexas@sbcglobal.net)
Love you girl - wish I was there to hug you and cry with you.
