I am very fortunate to have known Joann. She was so very kind, always interested in how you were doing. Her eyes were filled with light and she made one feel loved and appreciated. She and Joe had the idle marriage. I admired their long-lasting love for each other. Blessings and grace to Joe and their wonderful family. Sandra Smith

Aunt Joann, my very special aunt. You meant so much to me. Fighting my year long cancer journey & opening messanger & seeing the loving things you sent me! I looked up to you because you always had that smile, dressed so nice & always wore your beautiful Jewerly. You were a very stylish lady. The love you & uncle Joe shared was like no other! Just radiant. I know you are in heaven with no pain now! We will miss you sweetie. I love you.
