    Joann was one of my best friends for over 50 years. When we first got married money was tight so every weekend we would get together to play cards, eat chips and drink Pepsi. Our kids would all play together. We had a lot of good times. She will be missed.

    Oh my goodness, where do I start. Joan has been a friend and her family ( Missy ) has been in my life for at least 25 yrs or longer. I love them all. You all know how much your friendship means to me and have my sincere sympathy. " She's not hurting anymore " as the song says. She is with Jesus and is at peace. She has gone thru so much and was a very brave soul. God Bless You All. I love you. Helen
