Not sure what to say?





We were in and out of each other's lives since kids. Then one evening we moved in to our condo. A small group of neighbors were gathered, rubbernecking. One gal stepped forward, grinning the biggest grin I'd ever seen. It was Joey. We Were next door neighbors for a long while. We sat in our 'party house' we d made in the driveway, and remembered a ton of stories. I am thrilled and honored to have been her neighbor . We had a ball...but I know she is happy now. P.s. I didn't realize Joey passed on my birthdate. Hmmm.fitting!

Great loss for Muncie! I first met Jo through work in theatre. She blew me away! I always thought how much better she was on stage than Ethel Merman! Wonderful women.
