I should be posting a card or scrap LO, but it almost seems trivial. A good friend and fellow blogger, Joanne, passed away suddenly Friday night. She was part of our "Stampin Diva's" group. I met her years ago through my MIL at a SU! demonstration. My MIL became close friends with Joanne. It didn't take long for Jo to wiggle her way into my life and the lives of others. We started meeting once a month to stamp, chat, eat, and just be silly. So needless to say, her death is a huge shock. One that I don't think has even quite sunk in.
I guess the lesson here is to appreciate the people you love. Spend time with them, love them, and in the words of Tim McGraw, "Live Like You Were Dying."
I am honored to have known Jo. She was a sweet, talented, and funny woman and she will be greatly missed. You are with the angels Jo.................
Oh my Goodness,I can't believe it!
ReplyDeleteI am so sad,she was the sweetest person,always checking up on my weight loss,lol.
I adored her work,her kind words and comments,I will forever keep the encouragement card she sent me.
What went wrong? She was so young!
Please let her family and friends know that they will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
Where can I send a card to the family? Please let me know,Diane
