Goodbyes are never easy. You guys really know how to do it well, though - music, prayer, love and FOOD! Sure makes me hungry - for music, prayer, love and all that great food!

Oh Joanna, I hurt for you. But you all love so well.
Happiest of Birthdays to you, dearest Aaron. I am praying for your wisdom, words and strength and am confident that the Lord will use you to be a blessing for SITAG.
Joanna, you have a gift for making people feel loved. I am praying that that love comes back to you so that you know how well you are loved. I miss you.
