Dedicated...

...to our dear Auntie Johanna who went to be with Jesus yesterday morning. We are happy that you are in heaven with your beloved Bill. I can see you embracing and laughing with joy and delight to be together again. We will miss you.

**************************************************************
*note* -when my parents were in Missions for 10 years, God was faithful to bring "family" into our lives. Johanna was a "Stand in Grandmom" to our kids when they were little, when we lived in Kingston. We kept in touch after we moved to a new City, with cards, gifts, letter and a few visits each year. We will cherish the many memories that we have of our "Auntie Johanna". I will remember her when I wear a ring that she gave me, look at the teddy that she lovingly bought for Tirzah (even though it had a tag on it that said: not for Children, collector toy only)!! Auntie Johanna loved to shop and always looked pretty. The past 8 years her health had failed and we are at peace to know she is feeling healthy and strong now that she is with Jesus. Her 2 sons will be missing her now though. Bless you Roy and Brian.
