Jo Ann has Passed

Jo Ann passed from this world on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at approximately 6:50pm EST. She had been sleeping a lot during the day, due to increased morphine. She was comfortable. She opened here eyes and passed very peaceably on to the next world.

I am fine with this. We said our goodbyes on Tuesday when we had a few moments alone. It was a melancholy moment that is forever etched in my memory.

Thank you to all who prayed that her passing would be gentle. It was. May she rest in peace. On day we will see each other again.

  3. In the long run, passing in such a pain free [from morphine helping], peaceful way is a blessing. I had a moment to check with my reader and saw your post on JoAnn....

  4. Losing a beloved friend or family member is always a very difficult time no matter what the circumstances may be but in this instance I do think you were a wonderful friend and a blessing to Joann as she made her way to a new home and a much better place. I'm glad you and she had a chance to share a few last times together to allow your feelings to be known, each to the other. Also, knowing she passed peacefully is another blessing though, isn't it?

  6. Just stopping in to check on Jo Ann... How bittersweet for you.. I am thankful that she slipped away in peace. How compassionate is the Father God... Praying for you and her family. I remember when Jean died just a little over a year now. We were the best of friends..... Heaven is much sweeter now with our friends keeping watch.........

    Love

  8. I'm so sorry your friend has passed. Even though we know we will meet again there is such a void now.
    When you see her next, you will never have to say good bye again.
    Hugs

  26. How to access diagnostics codes relies on the calendar
    year the Wrangler was produced. There will be a longer pause amongst coding sequences.

  27. This can then conveniently flip out an erroneous code appears on
    your dashboard. What occurs if you are not satisfied with the
    merchandise when you get it?

    Look at my web blog; dhanbadclick.in

  28. This plainly indicates that connection speeds are insufficient with this protocol.
    It can also be employed with those people cars which are OBD2 amenable.
