My deepest sympathy to you, Kevin, on JoAnne's passing. She and I enjoyed many years of fun and friendship. In our younger days, I especially remember all the treks we made to Palm Beach to hang out with the "Kennedys" and our stays at the Mews. I was honored to be her maid of honor at your wedding and godmother to your Michael. Though many years have passed, I thought of her often. Please send my love to Michael, Kevin, Sean and Jenna. I miss her terribly, as I'm sure you all do. Please stay in touch.
All my love, Kathy
