JoAnn Usher was a loving mother, a devoted christian and kind friend. The memories of the past are vague and the hurts are forever and forgiven. What we have today is what there is forever and those are the memories of all we have to hold on to. In my mind, we can remember a face – one of beauty, one with rarely a frown and almost always a smile. Never a harsh word – just a kind gentle smile; we hear her voice as she says kind words to all who she knew. The words were always soft and they were who she really was. We will forever hear her say "Hi Honey" soft and gentle was her voice. In the air we breathe, we know she is there. To guide and protect all who she loved. We will forever be grateful that we was born through her to love...We are now who she was. Gone from us that smiling face with her cheerful pleasant ways. The heart that won so many friends also brought many happy days. A life made beautiful by kindly deeds and helping hand for others' needs. To a beautiful life comes a happy end, she died as she lived...everyone's friend. Mother JoAnn Usher will be truly missed by a host of relatives and friends.
