John, Justin, and all those affected by Joni's graduation to Heaven:
I send my love, sympathy, and hugs. Joni was such a giver and encouraged me often. Joni gave so willingly of herself. She was a God-send to me in a time of need, and was gracious each time she drove me to church. Her gifts and talents were vast, and her love for Christ was deep. I always enjoyed her company, and her void was difficult to fill when we were no longer connected through our church. Joni and I spent a lot of time together as she inspired a gift I wanted to give my Pastor. I had typed all of the prophecies he had given and I told Joni. She had an idea on how to present them as a gift, and it was a beautiful presentation to my/our pastor. It would not have been possible without Joni's creative energy, love, and devotion to the project. Joni and I have a LOT of catching up to do, but our reunion will have to wait.
I am reminded of Joni EVERY TIME I walk into my home because she blessed me with so much, and two pieces sit on my landing, and have for years. I will cherish every single memory I made with Joni and John, and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to know both of you. Justin, I've been a prayer warrior for you (at your mother's request), and I feel like I know you because your mom spoke highly of you often. May God surround all of you with His big loving arms of comfort; but rejoice because there is NO DOUBT she is with her Lord and Savior, as well as Almighty God, Himself. I send my love and prayers for comfort and peace for the days ahead.
