Peace is my parting gift to you

Posted on September 8, 2020 by Joanna M. Weston

This is Joanna’s middle son, Jon.

 Joanna died on Aug 21, 2020.

Before she died she asked me to post a message here for you.  (Several times over the last year I’ve heard her say with a firm chuckle “I don’t hold with this ‘passing away’ business – I’m going to die, and then I will be dead.”)

 Her blog was a common topic of conversation with us and I very much enjoyed receiving its weekly updates.  Pictures of me and my kids have been in it, I know she enjoyed running it (and of course the writing!), and I hope you have enjoyed the journey you’ve undertaken with her and her poems, stories, and everything in between.

Take care, be at peace, love each other.
