Joanna Mead I can’t believe the news. My heart breaks for your family and everyone else who was lucky enough to witness and experience your love and kindness. During high school doing cross country with you was such a blessing, even though I felt always like odd one out and my home life was a mess you still met me with such grace and love like a older sissy. I miss you so much. I pray over your family and community grieving, I’m grieving too. I love you – Kelauryn Rovang
