To all the Family back in Virgina and where ever you are now we really feel the pain and suffering you have had to deal with Joanne's illness. I know all of us have fond memories of the time we spent with her. Hopefully, you all feel some relief in her passing considering her condition and the amount of care and concern you have had to face. I will try to get a card out ---- My Sprint phone is out of order so the only way you can contact me is by contacting either by mail of calling Opal or Myself at 913-384-1585. Wish I was there today.
Love and Hugs

Uncle Don, Linda and Keith, We are very sympathetic abuout the loss of Joanne. All of us remember in her good days when she was such a good person. I am persoally indebted to her in many way including the lunches made for me to take to work when I spent a summer with Don and Joan. She was always doing something positive for many people. Christmas shopping for all of her family was a year long event.
We have been missing her as she once was for quite a while. The process of allheimers is a cruel way to end an otherwise rich and beneficial life to many.
Sincerely and with much love, Bruce Yarnell
