I have only known Loren and Joanna a short time and loved them both. He had a wonderful sense of humor and knew and loved the Father. Loren and his wife Joanna, to me, were the perfect couple. They loved each other and their church.
My sympathy to Joanna and their family, who will miss him very much but will see him again one day when God calls them home and they meet on the other side.
May God bless you all and be with you in
these trying times.
