You've always written about JoAnn so glowingly; I'm sorry her light has gone out. I trust she is in her creator's arms.

Jim, thank you. We know that all things work for good to those who love the Lord, and I know she trusted Him.

I am blessed to have shared some fun with you and JoAnn. What a beautiful lady! I am so sorry that we didn't get to visit and laugh with her again before she fell ill. But, I will treasure our visit with you for a very long time.

I shared the sad news of JoAnn's passing last night with our daughter, Emma, and she too, was so sad. After we shed some tears, Emma started to giggle. I asked what she was thinking and she said "I know David will never be alone....he's got 4000 dolls there to keep him company!" So, you've got that, dear friend. 4000 friends/family right there with you!

Sending you love and prayers, David.

Our hearts ache with you and for you.

I just wrote a book-load if responses and something untoward happened-- I have no idea what happened to them. So,

Lin, I am pleased that you and Emma shared some memories of JoAnn with each other, thank you for the tears, and above all, thanks for the laughter. Emma's estimate of "4000 dolls" is a bit high, but she never failed to accept one more into her orbit in an effort to fill the void left by having no dolls when she was a child. Thank you for your friendship. That alone was worth the effort of starting and maintaining a blog.

Chuck, JoAnn cherished dearly the times we spent with you and Sylvia. She often wished there could have been more of them. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Curt, I attempted to call your mom but apparently I mis-transcribed the number Bill gave me, so thank you for letting them know.
I did miss the exchanges we had over the blog fodder and told your mother how I had enjoyed communicating with you. Sorry about the "block" but I was getting some weird trolls who were exasperatingly annoying. I had forgotten that I reset the comment availability. I am glad you took the "risk" to get in touch again. Thank you for your prayers and caring.
