I have memories of Jonnie when she was a young adult. I was about 8 years younger and always idolized her. I remember how she loved to skate. I know she was very good. I would hear about it when my mom would get letters from her mom (Lula). I fondly remember the times of reunion with the Barnett family when Jonnie and you children would be there with her. My mother was Jonnie's oldest sister. I know all the sisters and brothers are having a wonderful time together now in heaven. I pray that all of you have asked Jesus to come into your heart and experience a personal relationship with Him. He is all we need in every situation. May his peace and comfort be with you all during this sad time for you. May God richly bless each one of you. Much love, Marcia THigpen Roseberry
She was a wonderful lady and will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved her, myself included! May memories of the fun we all shared with her bring you gentle comfort in this time of loss. I just wanted you to know . . . I'm thinking of you all during this difficult time.
Mrs Sweeney always welcomed me in her home with warm enthusiasm and I loved her wry wit. She loved her family deeply and took great responsibility for their well-being. My prayers for her family's great loss and sorrow in having to let her go and my continued prayers for a full scale reunion for all in Heaven.
Your heavenly choir is singing joys of praise. You are home and healthy. We'll treasure the memories and look forward to the day we will all be together again.
So many thoughts and prayers are with you all. Our hearts are broken, but our loss is heaven's gain. I love you Aunt Jonnie and will treasure every memory of you.
