Hi Cindy and Carrie. I don't know if you remember me, but my name is Vera Potts. I worked with your mother for a number of years, and I just found out today that she passed. We did not see each other often, but I was very fond of her. We shared a lot of good times from the time of Raymond on up to David. David I know she loved you very much. I am so sadden to hear of the news. I know we all have to go, but Joann was so full of life that it almost seems impossible for her to be gone. When I heard the news tonight I was almost swept off my feet. I will surely miss her dearly.

David, our many thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of Joanne's passing. She was a lady full of life and loved people. We felt like we had known her for years only 10 minutes after we met her the 1st time. We know she will be missed by many, especially you. But please know that we're praying God will give you comfort thru all this. We love you.

Grandma, you've been such a huge part if my life, and I feel so lucky, some people never meet their grandparents, let alone live 20 minutes from them!! You had more quirks and sayings than I can ever fully share with anyone. I'm so sad that you won't be attending my wedding next year...I'm so sad that Jon & my children will never get to meet you...but I know my mum will do all the crazy grandma Jo stuff for my babies!! I love you & promise, grandpa is going to be ok. Promise.
