  2. My Deepest Condolences To The Zech Family , I Know without a shadow of doubt JoAnn is with Jesus ! And her sweet husband Wally ! When Jesus had just Saved me way back in 1981 , i was 21 , I knew i needed to join a Church where the Word is Preached and Taught and to grow , I was led to a little ole church in New Braunfels Tx called Harmony Baptist Church off 46 , and thats where i met Mr and Mrs Wally and JoAnn Zech ! We have always stayed in touch even when Wally worked at Tyson Foods , i just enjoyed the bible studies at the Zechs , there too , I Thank God for The Zechs , They were a God sent in my Spiritual life journey , JoAnn was like a spiritual mom to me she would even get after me too Like a mom , and believe me , i needed it too ! Lol , The Zechs Leave The Zech Children a True Legacy , to them ! ” The Lord Jesus Christ ” ! Until we meet and see you Wally and JoAnn again in the clouds , amen ! i want to share a Scripture with yall please , 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV
    13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them { the believers } which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others { non-believers } which have no hope.

    14 For if we believe { believers } that Jesus died and rose again, even so them { believers } also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

    15 For this we say unto you by the Word of The Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of The Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

    16 For The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel ,
    { Michael } and with the trump of God: and the dead { in } Christ shall rise first: { resurrection }

    17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up { rapture } together with them in the clouds, to meet The Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with The Lord.

    18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
