Journal entry by Joanne Negstad — 18 minutes ago
During Joanne's sojourn in hospice she was very clear of her choices for memorial gifts: The Homeless Youth Program of Lutheran Social Services(LSS), MN. and Grace University Lutheran Church. The response to these suggestions was amazing. LSS received over $8,000. and Grace University Lutheran over $3,000. In addition many gifts were given to other institutions.
Joanne would be so pleased and full of gratitude for such abundant generosity. Of course it is also a testimony to the number of lives she touched and the depth of those touches. The memorials given to the church will be used for the piano fund...the congregation needs a new grand piano and that, too, would please her. It was Grace' music program that convinced her we should join the congregation and she had great affection and respect for Steve Self, Minister Of Music.
Thank you for this affirmation of her life. Every effort was made to write an individual 'thank you' to all who gave. If you were missed, I'm sorry and please accept this 'thank you'. She and I were/are truly blessed.
Blessings,
Al
