Dear Maureen and Mike,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and my cousin. I just discovered her obituary as I was searching for another online. I only wished I had looked sooner, as I would of been there. She was a fun loving person and I am grateful to have been related to her. Please accept my apology for not knowing. May she rest in peace. (My dad was Uncle Ed's brother).

I'm so sorry. I will miss Joann. She was so fiesty and fun. She loved her children and grandchildren and was so proud of each and every one.
