From: old friend

I remember Misty as a very sweet and loving person. No matter what she was going through herself she always had a smile for someone else. She acted grown-up even as a kid. I haven't seen her for some time now, but I bet she loved being a mom. Caring for others always came natural to her.

From: Beth Matteson

Oh my precious Misty. Way too soon. May Jesus receive you with arms wide open. Cannot even think of this... My heart is heavy. Prayers for your family.

Teresa, Tricia and family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

From: T Alston

Please accept my condolences. It is encouraging to know that God has loving concern for bereaved ones. Psalm 146:9 states "...The fatherless boy and widow he relieves." He promises that one day he will 'wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:3,4)I look forward to the day when death will be no more and we will no longer have to experience the pain and suffering it brings. Until that time, I encourage you to put hope in the thought at John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14. All of these provide us with the hope of being reunited with our loved ones by means of the resurrection. This brings me comfort and hope. I have faith in all of those scriptures because Titus 1:2 tells us that God can not lie. Please know that this will be accomplished by means of God's Kingdom which is mentioned at Daniel 2:44 and Matthew 6:9, 10. It is my hope that you are strengthened by these thoughts. May you read them from your own copy of the bible, meditate on them and gain faith in seeing your loved one again by means of the resurrection. Please review these scriptures in your own copy of the bible.

From: T Alston

I am sorry for your loss. I understand this is a difficult time for family and friends. I have learned to draw comfort from the bible. Romans 15:4 states “For all things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope’. The bible tells us that one day God will end sickness and death. Revelation 21:3,4 states ‘and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed way.’ Through my study of the bible I have also come to appreciate the resurrection. Scriptures such as Isaiah 26:19 and John 5:28,29 tell of a resurrection. It is the resurrection that will give us the opportunity to be reunited with our loved ones again. We can place our confidence in the resurrection because Acts 17:31 tells us that God furnishes a guarantee to all in that he resurrected him the dead. “Him” is Jesus Christ. Please know that this will be accomplished by means of God's Kingdom which is mentioned at Daniel 2:44 and Matthew 6:9, 10. You can be confident that this will occur because Hebrews 6:18 lets us know that it is impossible for God to lie. It is my hope that you are strengthened by these thoughts. May you read them from your own copy of the bible, meditate on them and gain faith in seeing your loved one again by means of the resurrection.

From: Jeanne Messersmith Robinson

What a good friend Jo Ann was to us all. Always giving more than she received and was happy to do so. She loved her friends like she did her own family but her love for her cats ranked very high too. Her family was number one and always cherished the time they had together and missed her parents deeply. I have known JoAnn since high school and after graduation she worked for me and my family in the hotel business for many years both in Indiana and Florida. She was a hard worker, honest and very dedicated. My life was enriched and happier having known JoAnn and even though I have not seen her in some time I will miss her.

From: Kim Burke

We were very saddened to hear about the passing of Jo Ann. WGM worked with her several times a year in securing hotel rooms for our board members and other visiting guests. She always went above and beyond the call of duty. On behalf of World Gospel Mission, we send our deepest sympathy. Kim Burke (Executive Assistant for World Gospel Mission)

.I just found out about Jo Ann this morning (6-28-10) I knew her for about 10 years down at the Hotel where she would let me swim after hours and we used to pull tab and lottery tickets till wee hours in the morning. I left Marion about 5 years ago and we didn't talk as much after that since I worked out of FT.Wayne and she started working days. I will miss her. God Bless you Jo Ann... You were a good friend.
