Mom was--well, Mom. Now that she's gone, I realize everything I learned from her, all the ways she taught me, and what I still needed to learn. I remember mom making us sit down for Chapel Hour, and I know it was a blessing for so many people, but for us kids who wanted to be swimming, riding horse, or just outside, it was less fun. But now, I wish that Mom was here to sing to my daughter. She was a great mom and a great grandma and I'll miss her until I see her again.

Please take good care of our Tyler for me and know that you are always in my heart in my daily walk. I love you. Debbie(niece).

I'm SO blessed to have you as my aunt! I have many, many wonderful memories to hold close in my heart until I see you again in Heaven...and that comforts me. I'm so happy we had a lot of contact via email before you took ill, and that you are fully aware of how much I love you. THANK YOU for all the Chapel Hours, all the love and prayers while growing up, and for loving me enough to pray for me and literally chase me down when I was a wild teenager to anoint me with your ever-handy, got-it-right-here-in-my-pocket oil (more than once too)! What a beautiful person you were on earth. Therefore, what an absolutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l angel you must be right now... SHINE, SHINE, SHINE Auntie Jo!
PS: Uncle Ronnie, I know you will read these writings (I hope), so I want to take this opportunity to reiterate how very much I love you too. Please be sure to make your wife proud by continuing on with the love for life that you two shared each day, together and with everybody whose lives you have touched. Be sure to take care of yourself and eat healthy too, because you know as well as I do that your wife can reach out quicker than ever now and snatch that bottom-of-the-bag cookie from you if she feels the need to do so!! ; )
All my love to all of you!!

Every time grandma came to our house she would get out her chapel hour books and sing with us. I cherish those memories. Thanks Grandma and rejoice with the Lord knowing that you impacted me and many others.

Joanne Running was a Godly woman. I should know, she was my G-ma. I will miss her for sure. There is one thing she would probably say. It's the same thing that all other Christians that have passed away say. "I am in heaven with the one guy I have waited my entire life to be with." I know that most of you are very saddened by her passing. I think the reason I am not so sad is that I know she went to be with Jesus Christ. She is having the time of her life worshiping God, teaching chapel Hour, and just the fact of being in Heaven. God Bless Yall!

Ron and Running Family,
Joanne's Coranation Day came sooner than we would have chosen.
Our praises go to The Lord Jesus for the years of testimony she had because of her conquest over the initial attack of cancer. Joanne inspired many. We all would have preferred that her second front in the war with cancer had been won also. It wasn't; but, The Lord Jesus receives glory for the victories we all saw.
We will be conducting Tynne Johnson's funeral at Northland the same time that Joanne's Coronation Celebration will be in progress. Though we can't be there, our heart has been with you that the Presence of Jesus will be with all of you -- in thse days and in the days to come.
Looking Forward to That Grand Reunion Day,
Pastor Hal & Jean Kamppi ##

Dear Joanna and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom! I would like you to know that back when I was about 4 yrs old your mom is the very special person who gave me my first introduction to religion through Chapel Hour! What a wonderful person she was to open her home and her heart to all of us. She was a true blessing!

We first knew JoAnn through the FOF prayer group. Her faith was evident in her face and in her conversation, therefore we sorrow as those who have great hope. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life; He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever believeth in me shall never die..." John 11:25-26 Believers are separated only for the shortness of time: not for eternity. To all her family ...and especially Jean and Les we send our love and prayers..May God's arms of love hold you close.

As a teenager, Joanne babysat my brothers, sister and me - and actually taught me how to walk. When Rhonda and Skip were babies, I returned the favor and stayed with them so she and Ron could go out. Joanne has been a part of our family since she was a young woman - and her physical presence will be greatly missed. Knowing that she is with the Lord and free from the boundaries of this earthly experience brings much comfort. When I look at the stars in the heavens above there will be one that shines with her spirit as much as her eyes twinkled when she smiled. God Bless and keep you. Love, Judy Fay

Our love and prayers are with you. We first met Joanne when we lived in King Lake, she was a loving and caring person who took care of our daughter, Kathy while I worked. We then moved back to Minnesota where we kept in touch, she was an inspiration and a comfort to me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We know she is not "shouting the victory" !! Sincerely, Oz and Claire Spoolman

I was very saddened to learn of Joanne's passing. I met her when I worked at the Duluth Clinic and she had just adopted the Skerbitz children. She impressed me as a wonderfully energetic, positive and loving person. At each visit she would take time to update me about accomplishments on each one of the kids, and there was always a lot of pride and joy in her voice, along with laughter, as she recounted stories. My sympathies to her family members, who were cherished by someone very special.

Dear Ron,
You have been much on my heart since I read of Joanne's passing. We rejoice that she is with the Lord but her presence here will be missed.
In a way I can appreciate the sense of loss you are experiencing since Betty is no longer able to live with me at home due to her health. Many times I have told the Lord that He is the only One who can take her place in my heart when I miss her. I'm sure that you too will find the Lord present with you now.
In His Love,
Graden

What is the Christian answer to the mystery of suffering? not an explanation, but a reinforcing presence- Christ to stand beside you through the darkness, Christ's companionship to make the dark experience sacred...
Joanne, we will miss your zest for life and your excitement for Jesus..I look forward to seeing you someday on the other side of life...

There are many memories I'd like to share, but I suppose I have to leave room for everyone else in this guest book. My mom was the most giving, loving, unselfish, outreaching person I've ever known. And I miss her more than words can say. The one good thing that we can all take comfort in is knowing that she's where she's always wanted to be - with her Blessed Savior and friend, Jesus. Take good care of her, Lord.

When my husband and I got back from a trip last night, my aunt Dorothy told me the sad news that my old schoolmate Joanne had passed away. Joanne & I attended grade school in South Range together and then both moved to Duluth at the end of sixth grade and attended Jackson, Washington and, for a while, Central High School together. She babysat my cousins and became close friends with my aunt Beverly. As everyone knows, Joanne was wonderful with children and always tried to do the right thing. I pray that her family will be comforted. We'll all be glad when we can see her again someday.

I'm truly truly sorry to have read about Joanne's passing! I can remember as a little boy of about 5 or 6 years of age her coming to our house to babysit us kids for my mother and stepfather. I fell in love with Joanne when she was 15 years old and I was 7! I was heart broken when she married Ron, who turned out to be a wonderful person. I am glad that I got to share her 65 birthday with her and her family and that I was able to visit her while she was in the Hospital about five weeks ago. I am going to miss her very much and my condolences go out to Ron and the family.
