Amanda and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear the loss of your our Mom! I had the pleasure of working with JoAnn at Sallie Mae (Navient). Working with her was always a good time. She was always laughing and joking around. I'm glad I got the chance to know her. You all have suffered a great loss! My deepest condolences.

To my dear friend, Joanne: Please know that I think of Heaven as a Garden where I will meet, once again, those dear ones who have made my world. You are with your Lucy now. I will miss our many conversations we had over the years that we sat next to one another, your caring and those unsolicited head slaps! (I can hear your laughing now!) I will miss you. In deepest caring, Gene
