In the sad times of life it is part of God's plan for friends to help friends any way that they can. Miles may separate us but our spirits can unite in prayer for the family of Joie. Today she sits with Jesus. I pray that Randall and all the family will find strength in their faith, comfort knowing that God loves them and peace knowing that friends are praying for them. Ruthanna

God bless them during these times Lord...

I too will keep Randall and the entire family in prayer. My God comfort at this difficult time. Brenda
