I did not know my cousin Joanne well…but still my heart goes out to you Henry and your family as you walk this journey of grief. Praying that Jesus will be real to you, that you will sense His love and compassion for you and that He will give you the strength you need to go on…moment by moment.

Hello Henri and family. We heard of the passing of Joanne. Our condolences to you and everyone who loved her. She was a very lovable person and we have fond memories of her. My mom kept us in the loop regularly of the facetimetalks she had with her. We know she is in a much better place now. We wish you Gods strength and comfort in the coming times

Dear Henry and kids:

I was shocked to read in the local paper that Joanne had passed. I am so sorry but we did not even know she was not well. Joanne was always a pleasure to meet at anytime she was so full of energy and so busy with life. We always promised to get together and then . . . . . . time would get in the way. I am so sorry that we never had that last visit. Peter today shared memories of going to grade school with Joanne, (when she was Fannie). Good memories!

Our condolences to all on the passing of Joanne

I am a child of Diny Timmermans van der Velde and I spoke to Joanne sometimes when I was visiting my mom.

We are praying for Henry and family.

Greetings from the Netherlands. From village Spakenburg.

Our condolences to all on the passing of Joanne. Though we hadn’t seen each other for a long time, I clearly remember her smiling and welcoming face when we first came to Canada. Until we meet again may God be the strength and comfort you all need as you miss her.

Dear Kiers family our condolences with the passing of your loved one, our prayers are with you all in this difficult time.

May the Lord comfort you all. I have vague but fond memories of cousin Joanne and wish I had come to know her better. Lately we've stayed in contact a bit on Facebook but one day I hope we'll meet in the presence of Jesus our Saviour.
