MISS YOU, ANGIE

JONI, TIME DOES GO BY, BUT THINKING OF THE GOOD TIMES WE SPENT TOGETHER AND THE LAUGHTER IS MISSED.....I KNOW YOU ARE AT PEACE....

Oh Miss Joni....you were the first person I had ever met with a New York accent. I remember thinking back then that you were a special kind of lady that people dont easily forget. I've always had a knack for being able to "read" people very well. Sure enough, I was right about you :) It was an absolute pleasure to know you and your children when you all lived in Illinois, and we've missed you terribly ever since you went back home to New York many years ago now. I will never forget the impact...

I loved our trips to Sayre every week and to Philly. Walmart, the Christmas Tree Shop,Cracker Barrel and yes I will admit it even The Dollar General...

Aunt Joan,
I wish that you had been a bigger part of my life because I remember the times when I was little and would see you, how you were always happy and kidding around with people and I always thought that was so fun to be around. How you would call me tons of fun made me feel so special. You were truely one of a kind and like no other. I have thought about you often over the years, more than you know and cherished the times that I did get to see you. I am happy that my kids got a...
