************************
Believe me when I say CROSSING JORDAN is more than just a new recording project. There is no doubt it was a special calling for me to create some much needed peace & comfort in the best way I know how, through music; even its timing was beyond my control. When you get a “calling” you have to respond. CROSSING JORDAN is my response to that call.
Wishing you Love, Peace & Comfort.
Joanne

This album is dedicated to my mom,
Joan Ursula Pinelli Lurgio
As far back as I can remember my mom taught the importance of family, love, faith & God. She lives her faith every day and has instilled that faith in me.
I love You, Mom ❤️ Thank You
