I very much enjoyed getting to know Joellen at Burcham the last few years. She was always kind and cheerful in our interactions. It was clear she loved her family dearly. I will miss our visits. May God comfort you as you grieve her loss.

Joellen was such a kind person and so good to my folks, Irene and Vernon Snyder. I remember and cherish the many good times that were shared as families together growing up in Mason. May you rest in peace. You were a faithful servant of God - well done and a fine example for us all.

Joellen always had a great story to share about growing up with my dad and their fun, especially at the fair. I always appreciated hearing them. She was a really kind person and so proud of Machelle and her family. The loss of her here on Earth is surely Heaven's gain. Many thoughts and prayers are with your family as you grieve.
