Our love, thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family .

Darlene Omey and family 

Pastor Joan will forever hold a special place in our hearts. During the midst of the pandemic, she opened her arms, faith and church to my husband and I so we could have our wedding in a place of worship. Her enthusiasm, grace and love made our wedding day extraordinarily special.  We convinced her to join us for the outdoor reception where she took a nature walk, said our meal blessing and made us all feel special with her stories. We will think of her every time we see a rainbow.

When we called her 2 years later to see if she'd be willing to do a baptism for our newborn son, her response was "when can you get here? Of course, I'll do his baptism."   She always said she did so little but her actions and love mean the world to us. 

We will mourn the loss of such a special person but we are both grateful she is at peace and that we were able to share a little of her light.  Our prayers and thoughts go out to her family and congregation.
