My sincerest condolences to you all during this very difficult time. I have known your family for many years and you have helped our families during our very difficult times.

Darrell: I met you when my Dad, Albert (Bert) James, moved into Parkwood Hospital in the fall of 2013 for what would be a short 6-week stay, prior to his unexpected death. Both my Dad and I appreciated so much the time you spent with him and me, and I gather that you and he had some meaningful and fruitful conversations. I knew that your wife was ill at the time my Dad died, and I now send to you my sincere sympathy in the sad loss of your life partner. I know from personal experience how hard the loss of one’s spouse can be. Wishing you God’s comfort and peace now and always.

Herb and Jillian
Darrell, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. Joanna played an important part in praying for me so that I could come to know the Lord she served with such devotion all the days of her life. I honour her for those prayers of 41 years ago. Our recent phone conversation a few weeks ago was very special. You and Joanna ministered very deeply into my spirit that morning and the presence of the Holy Spirit remained with me for several days to come. You both are “the big people” in my Christian journey. We have been privileged to have had Joanna as a sister in our Lord Jesus Christ. Jillian and I pray that Comforter will continue to anoint you and ministry to you and your lovely family.
God Bless you and keep you at this time

Brad & Cathy Gregus
Every once in a while, we encounter someone who is a ‘difference-maker’, a stalwart amongst us, who in their humblest effort to be a servant, emerges as a great leader. Joanna pursued obedience to God, and in turn He illuminated Joanna as living example of His Gospel. Her witness of how to pursue God’s purpose for ourselves, will be accounted by the thousands of people who’s lives have been changed by experiencing Joanna’s encouragement, empathy and wisdom. We understand God a little better now because of her.
Linda McFadden
My sincere sympathy. Joanna was a gentle, kind person. The love of Jesus could be seen in her. We appreciated having her speak at our church a few years ago. The Lord is your strength at this time.
