We all loved Aunt Joanne so much, she was always so kind and caring! She will be missed. We are sorry we couldn’t be with you to celebrate her life. Sending hugs and prayers, from Uncle John and the Arizona Slater’s
Pam, Louis, Jack, Ben and Mel,
My hearts and prayers are with you all on the loss of an incredible woman. Over the course of the time I was close to your family I could see how close you all are. You never needed to speak on the closeness of your family as actions said more than words ever could. My family will continue praying for you all in the coming days. “Tears are prayers too. They travel to God when we can’t speak”: Psalm 56:8
