    I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your mom was a gem. I looked back two years ago when my husband passed and read her note to me on this forum. It was thoughtful, loving, compassionate, gracious, and comforting. I did not even know your mom personally, but her expression of sympathy was something that could easily have been sent by a lifelong friend. She has been and will be truly missed.🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Dear Susan. Thank you so much for sharing this news with all of us. I'm so sorry for the passing of your mother. She was one of the first people I met when I started posting years ago.

    I miss her postings so much, she put a lot of love, in her postings. May she rest in peace. Thank you for all the precious pictures you shared with us. Hugs Zetta

    Your mother was so very generous with her time, sharing information, suggestions, wisdom and most importantly, compassion to us here. I can only imagine what kind of mother she was.

    Dear Susan and family,

    Johanna was such a special person. I came back to this place after seven years and I was secretly hoping Johanna would be here, so it’s sad she died, but now I get to see her beautiful smile and laughing face, just as I imagined she would look like. Johanna encouraged me so much as I cared for my dad and mom at home. Never a hint of condescension, only a sort of joyous affirmation that caring for my parents in my home was worthwhile.

    Thank you, Johanna, for what you gave: your time, your care, your support, your wickedly smart humor. You will be sorely missed on this site as you seem to have been everywhere, tossing your brilliance on many threads.

    Susan and family, You had a gem of a mum. Thanks for posting this and Godspeed.

    Here’s a red rose and rosebud from our Rose Garden in Memory of those who have flown off to the better place.

    Thank you so much for the beautiful rose, MPSunshine! Mom (“Jo C”) would love that. I am so glad she was able to be of support to you. On some level, she knew she was making a difference. It filled her heart. All blessings to you.
