Personal note from Joanne's Family

Our family is so grateful for all your support in the past week. Our hearts, vases, and refrigerators have never been fuller.

You're all invited to join us for Joanne's Celebration of Life on Saturday, Feb. 26th at 2:00 pm PST. You can attend in person at First Baptist Church in Prince George, BC, or view a live-stream of the service - scroll down below or click the "Events" tab above for more details. Live-stream link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch…

This is an American website, so we can't share Canadian donation information, but in lieu of flowers, we invite you to make donations in Joanne's memory to a charity of your choice. Joanne particularly loved supporting refugees, immigrants and LGBTQ2S+ people. One idea is the Refugee Fund at First Baptist Church Prince George (donation instructions can be found at www.fbcpg.ca/giving, designate gift to "Refugee Fund").
