I want the whole family to know that I am so sorry that we are all going threw this hard time. Joann and I got so close and she was like a mother to me and I miss her soooo much. It hurts so much that she is not here for me to help her out and to make me lough, but I am so proud of her to donate her body to cancer place. She is my hero and it eases my mind some knowing that even after her death, she is still thinking about us and and taking care of us like she did when she was here. My tears fall everyday for her and the family. She was a wonderful woman and I am the one who is lucky to say that she was in my life and was a big part of my life.I love you Mom and I will always cherish every moment we had togeather and cherish the last day that we had togeather that was full of loughter and joy. You will be greatly missed.
