Condolences from Bruce Taylor, a long time friend. We met years ago when I was in the military in San Diego. Our paths crossed again when my work brought me to the Bay Area. I settled in Alameda at the time and among my first actions was to contact Joanie. Enjoy your wings Joanie; our paths will cross again.

Joanie was the shining star when our families got together. With one sound of "Hey Baby", one would smile from ear to ear. I remember her teaching me the importance of opening and closing a door for a lady, always offer an arm to chauffeur a lady around, and to always smile! Her warm and refreshing personality always made me smile when I saw her. She will be missed madly! I will celebrate her wonderful life of injecting pure happiness to those around her.
I love you Joanie!
