Someone so special can never be forgotten Condolences to her family. My family and hers had a friendship dating back to the 40's. Although I knew Rose and Don a little more, Joanne and my sister Suzy were schoolmates. I looked forward to seeing her at the Homecomings. She will now be surely missed.

Yet another one of the old crowd is gone from the Grove. She will be missed however I am sure somewhere there will be a reunion to rival the Homecoming held here in the Grove.
Comfort to your family in this time of grief.

To the Familie of Joanne Roberts

I am writing this letter to give comfort to your family. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. The Bible helps us comfort in our time of need. 2 corinthian‘s 1:3,4 tells us praise be the God and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of tender mercies who comforts us in all our trials. My hope today is to give your family comfort from the Scriptures and I hope I was able to do that again except my condolences to the family.

May Joanne rest in eternal peace now. She was a dear Cousin. I have wonderful memories of visiting Arkansas in the summer months and it was always a joy to see and visit with Joanne. Just recently we shared past memories together and had lots of laughs over the phone. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family that she loved so much.

Sooo sorry to hear the passing of Joanne..We would visit every summer as children from Florida. We would visit our father's, Wesley Henry, aunts, Hattie & Mattie, and that is where we met Joanne and the rest of our cousins. I always loved Joanne and we have alot of precious memories with our visits to Arkansas.
