  5. Prayers for Crit and all the family…I love Joe Ann dearly, she is my cousin. I love Crit and all the family. Joe Ann is my father’s niece. I didn’t see her often but she meant the world to me, as Crit and all the family does. My prayers for all the family. Joe Ann is at peace now. Rest In Peace Joe Ann.

  6. Crit, Heather and Robyn, although I will not be with you on Sunday, I will be there in spirit. As I mourn and celebrate the life of my dearest friend Joe Ann, I am so thankful that she left me with so many wonderful memories. We could talk about anything, laugh at the oddest things and just lift each other up during difficult times. I will miss our phone calls and our friendship which was a once in a lifetime experience. I thank God that we crossed paths during our Florida days. Love and prayers, Edith.

  7. My condolences, Robin and Heather. It’s not easy losing a mother but know family and friends will help you thru. My prayers will be with you in the coming days ahead. Your mom was a beautiful lady and may she rest in peace.

  8. Robin— I’m so sorry for your loss. I only met your Mom a couple of times, but found her to be delightful. Her stories about the decorator and the lawn guy were told with such detail and energy. I couldn’t help but smile, and she definitely enjoyed the dollhouse museum. You’ve been a kind and attentive daughter. Wishing you many hugs and love as you bid her farewell.
    Love, Carolyn

  11. I am so deeply sorry Joann has left to be with our Lord. She is one of the kindest most dignified ladies I’ve ever had the honor of knowing. I like to think she is laughing in heaven with my Dad, Mom and sister Mary, but missing her in this life leaves a hole in our hearts that can never be filled until we all see her again. Crit and Joann always held a special place in my heart since childhood. Crit, Joanne, Heather and Robin have always been so special to the entire Conn family. I’m so proud to call my cousins family, there are none better. I’m sorry my health did not let me attend the gathering. May God bless and comfort you all during this sad time.
