Joanne was loved at BJ's. She made us laugh, caring, warm (stubborn yes) but that made Joanne who she was. Joanne made us always feel welcome and like family at BJ's. Makes my Dad laugh a lot he's 81 and she always called me little girl (I'm 54) Joked with my husband about using his credit card to go shopping. Always had a story and loved to go to the casinos. We will miss Joanne I'm sure God has a slot machine in heaven for her. See you again in heaven. Our prayers to the family. Love, George, Jim, Billie
