I had no idea that JoAnn passed. I loved her so much. I spent many days with Max "Ray," and JoAnn. My heart breaks for such a loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. May God Bless those who were blessed to be her family, friends, and acquaintances. She was a warm, and loving;, well loved angel on earth and now in Heaven.
