Dear Sue, Trilla & the Watsons, I was very sad to hear of your Mama's and Aunts passing. Joann was a special person and she will be remembered for years to come. We all know what it is like to lose our loved ones but they continue to live in our hearts and in each of us. Isn't it great to know what good genes are born in all of us and what good things they taught us. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you all and to remember all the fun and good times we shared. All my love and deepest sympathy, Theresa Sandefur
