I worked with Jo Anne years ago and we unfortunately lost touch. My sympathy to all of her family. Joanne was truly a caring giving soul who always thought of others first. We had many fun lunches together. Rest in peace JoAnne! You will be missed.

Well Jo Ann, our many talks, lunches and writing IEPs at Dyett High School are truly memorable. You probably didn't know it; you made a difference with Dyett's SpEds.
