It is by chance we met, by choice we became friends

By chance I met Jo-An when my Daughter Joann started dating Jo-An's Son Bill. After a courtship of six years Joann and Bill married.  Â
For many years we might see each other at Christmas only because Jo-An moved to Crystal River.  We did see more of each other after James and Veronica were born.Â
Â
We became friends when she moved back to St. Petersburg.
We all went to the same Church. When I moved from the south side over to Five Towns to be closer to Joann and Bill , Jo-An was there to help unpack the moving and had the kitchen all in order when I moved in.Â
Â
When I needed a ride to Church she would come pick me up even though I lived clear across town from her.
Â
I found this Quote on the computer and thought immediately of my friendship with Jo-An.  Had Bill and Joann not married I might never have met her. In addition to being a really good friend, she is a loving and thoughtful Mother-in-Law and Grandmother.Â

Love and prayers from here to there
