In memory of Joann

I know words cannot express the feelings of loss you must have with Joann's passing.  Yet hearing the memories of others when my Mom passed away showed me I was far from alone knowing someone so precious in my life had gone.   So I will give you mine in that spirit.

She said we were like her daughters and sometimes I acted like a little brat to get her smile.  She stayed close by when I was small and afraid and shone with me in my joy.  She loved me, and through her eyes I found love for myself.  She was like no other lady, so loving and strong.  I hold her close in my heart. 

With deep saddness
