I want you to know how so sorry I am to hear of Joanie's passing. My heart goes out to all of you & you are in my thought & prayers.

Your mom will always hold a special place in my heart. She was selfless, a rock to her family & anyone that reached out to her, including myself as a child. Someone I looked up to as a role model for motherhood, marriage, & friendship. You are truly blessed to have had her in your life, as are those of us who's lives she touched.

Love,
Denise
