“Sweetness” comes to mind when I think of Joni. I remember when she came to Mary & Ben’s to live. As a little girl, she was always sweet and cheerful, smiling with her eyes… and eager to talk.
Something I’ve learned from Joni is to be loving & cheerful whenever you can. Through her passing, I learned the importance of also turning that love inward - as an armor of protection from what can be a tough world.
I know the Lord has now wrapped His loving arms around her and she is smiling at Him..
My dear cousin Ben & your lovely wife, Mary, please accept our sincere consolences on the loss of your daughter. Though I only met her as a child, I mourn with you and pray for God's richest grace and support to you and the entire family at this most difficult time. She is with her bleoved Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and may that truth comfort you today and always. Blessings to you all.
