Aunt Jo had such a tremendous heart and spread love wherever she went. I have so many happy memories of her with that big grin and her wonderful whistle. One always knew when Aunt Jo was in the house. She always made me feel important and always had such a keen interest in whatever I was doing. I will miss her hugs and her zeal for life.......I loved her so much.

Joann will be missed by so many. I'll cherish my own memories of laughter and joy and just fun that we shared.

It was a lesson in love and respect to be with Ozzie and Joann...as they remained so "in love" after so many years.

I loved Joann.
