Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Kim & Randy, we are so saddened by the passing of your mom, Joanne. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I loved your mom like a sister and I already miss her deeply. We spoke almost daily and shared memories of our mothers, stories, laughter and even tears. Joanne had a strong faith and never expressed self pity at having cancer. I can hear her say we’ll just take it one day at a time. Now she’s with the One that loved her most, Jesus. If there’s anything we can do, please let us know. Love, Sherry & Danny Bunn
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kim, Will, and children and Randy as you go through this time of grief. Please know that your Mother was loved by all who knew her and that she is now safe in the arms of her Lord Jesus and has a new pain free body. May God bless each of you for your love and care of your Mom through her sickness. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you all. Frances and Stephen Proctor

Kim and Randy, what an extraordinary and abundant life Joanne lived by just being her authentic self. She took each day and lived it to the fullest, with Jesus being the Center of her life, an inspiration for all of us. When reading the Fruits of the Spirit, Joanne emanated each one, a tribute that can only be said of a few. We will keep her in our hearts forever. Nancy and Stanley
Joanne was a very private person but I knew she was battling hard since she left work at Dyke Industries. She was a wonderful coworker and friend and has certainly been missed. Steve Guthrie
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Jeannie Joanne Mills Arnold. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
