To the Family & Friends of JoAnn Gardner-Phillips My deepest sympathy to each of you. No matter how many times we lose someone whom we love it never lessen the pain. Unlike the birth of a child, we do not rejoice over the loss of family and friends. Our heavenly Father assures us that he will soon wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and death will be no more. Revelation 21:3-5
