Joanne will indeed be missed as one who truly inspires those who knew her with great discussions on any subject. Her creative touch whether with art work, pen or pencil and the click of the mouse on a computer, her greatest masterpiece was the friendship she give to so many people like me and the love she had for her son and husband, grandkids and daughter-in law and her family. I never forget you dearest Joanne, Rena.
