Mr. Howlett, Jennifer, Natalie, Steven, Susan & Mark, Adam & Andrew, Kenny and I were so sorry to hear of the sudden loss of Joanie. She was such a caring and outgoing person, and I know you will have many fond memories of your special times with her. Family was so important to Joanie, and it was evident every time I saw her.

My thought and prayers are with the Howlett family. I wish I could be there, but I have a church in Ottawa Kansas now. I will be thinking of all of you on Thursday night and May God's love and presence as you celebrate Joanie's life and move forward with her memory in your hearts minds and souls. God bless.

Wayne, Natalie, Jennifer We (Kathryn & I ) were so shocked by the news of Joanie`s passing, Wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts & prayers. It seems only yesterday you were born & Dorothy & Wayne were so proud of you!! Kids are not supposed to go before parents as Wayne said & I agree, Joanie & Dorothy are saving Wayne a place when he is ready & we all look forward to a blessed reunion when we will all meet again & celebrate with Christ. Natalie & Jennifer take care & Susan & Steve be strong for your dad. Again God bless all of you
