Aunt Joan – so many fond memories of you. You will be missed! Love you forever.
Leslie and family: Again I want to express my condolences to you all. When Bruce called me, I was very sad to hear about JoAnn’s passing but also relieved to know that she is free. I did send an email to our Centennial ’58 classmate data base with the sad news. I cannot make it to the service this morning but have received info for the live streaming of the service. I will be watching. I have also passed that info on to our classmate data base so that any classmates who are out of town and can’t be there in person can also watch the live stream. JoAnn was a beautiful person and a good friend. You are in our prayers!
Heaven has gained another angel….You were like a second mother to me and always treated me like one of your own kids as I practically grew up in your home with as much time I spent over there. You will be sadly missed by my father and me . Love you Always..
