Joan Rita Schmidt
Mother of 5, Grandmother of 12, Great Grandma to 15
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Life is changed. It is not ended. And, so, we grieve. And so we should. But we also need to remember the fun, the smiles, the love that Joan brought to her family and to all of us.
