I am so sad to learn of Joann's passing. I remember her as being a sweet person who was proud of her Italian heritage. She was a great person! Heaven just got a little bit better, because that's where Joann is! I will be praying for comfort for her family.

I believe our website may have a picture of her at our club meeting. (http://craftywriters.club)
Again I know I speak for everyone at the club when I say we are sorry to hear of her passing, she was a great writer!
