While reading the obituaries from my home in Florida I was so sad to learn of the passing of cousin Joan Marie. We lost touch over the years, but I have many fond childhood memories of Joan Marie from my visits to her home and from other family events. Joan Marie was sweet and kind, and so devoted to her family especially her grand daughter. May she rest in peace.

"1974, i walked off the school bus not knowing anyone. These 2 girl's Jean & Joan welcomed me with open arms as if we had been friends forever. 40 years later , we were still close. We may have not seen each other throughout the years often but we were always a phone call away. Sending Birthdays & holidays greetings to each other. Joanmarie, i love you and i will always remember the fun crazy times & laughs we all had together. Laughing until we cried🌹
