Dear Bob and family:
I am so sorry to hear that Joanne has passed. Please accept my deepest sympathy. This is a difficult time in your life and I pray that our Lord Jesus will bless you and your family. I’m sure that Joanne is with our dear lord in heaven.
Recently I asked our minister "Where is Heaven". She replied that she believes that heaven is everywhere. What a great reply. It mad me feel so good. I now believe  that my family and friends that have departed are still here with me. In fact sometimes I even talk to them as if they are here….
May God bless and comfort you and your family during this time. Sincerely..
Dick Earhart
