I wish I had found out sooner so I could have been at the service...I just found out last night. So many times Ms. Joanne helped me understand people. She and I worked together at FDLE but I quit a year ago and hadn't been back. Man I miss her and her advice. I didn't understand the office drama and she always seemed to make it better. Then she would turn to me for someone to talk to. She and I would talk for a long time. Whenever we were done and had to get back to work the day seemed to go by much faster. The last conversation we had was her expressing that she wanted to paint a picture of my husband and I for our one year anniversary. She was always so sweet. Ms. Joanne is someone I never had a bad thing to say about, nor would I. She always spoke her mind and I loved that about her. She'll be missed so much! :( Always!

I am going to miss my grandmother-in-law. She was a very sweet woman, who always had a smile on her face. I will always cherish the portrait she painted of my son. You will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
