Our deepest sympathies to all. Your Mom, Johnette, was a very special Lady. She will be missed by all on earth and rewarded in heaven.
Love Sherry and Gary Klaybor
So sorry to read of Johnette’s passing. She was a great lady. I met her playing pinochle at the senior center. She will be missed. So sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies. Karen
So sorry for the loss of your mother, she will be missed by all who knew her,
love and prayers. Kelly and Steve Smith
My heart goes out to all of you for your loss. It always felt good coming in he Heary’s kitchen and being greeted by your Mom. Sitting around the kitchen table talking with her about Sue’s and my latest bright ideas. She always listened to us and set us straight with a few wise words. Somehow, she always seemed to know what we were up to – many years later we found out she used to sit in the living room and listen to us as we sat on the front porch talking!
During my childhood she was like a second mother to me and I will always remember her fondly. I wish I could be there with all of you today. I’m sending you my hugs and love.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Your mom was a true gem! Love to you all!
Sue and family. So sorry for your loss. She is in good hands now. Love to you all and God Bless you.
God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen
