Joann was my stepmother and one of the sweetest ladies I knew. She took good care of my dad and loved us so. I spent many weekends at their house in Texas and a few days in Ohio. I have so many memories...going to festivals, shopping, and out to eat. God bless her. She´s with my dad again.

I have many favorite memories with her. The best ones were every summer when I would get to go spend a month with her and Grandpa. I am so grateful that they were in my life. I will miss grandma so very much.
