My sister, Joanne. Oh how I miss you. Our daily talks sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. We would watch the ball game together and text back and forth what was going on. We laughed and cried together. She would call me her ,(her little sister) as we were 8 years and exactly 1 week apart.. She was older. I miss her so very much.

Even though I haven't seen Joanne since I was very young. I´ll always remember the beautifully kind woman she was. She did everything she did with grace and passion. She had the most magnificent earring and beanie baby collection I´d ever seen in my life, her letting me choose some of my own is one of my favorite childhood memories. I offer my condolences to the whole family, I know she was well loved.
