My heart is very thankful that one year ago I was there with you in CA. Little did I realize when Joanne called earlier in the week how important that trip would become for me.

Joanne has been such an inspiration to many, many people! She ran her race with endurance, grace and dignity. I met Joanne through her sister Dianne. She was always kind and gentle when we saw each other and showed great concern for others who were suffering. Wade, Barbara, Katie, Sue, Dianne and Ron will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Our sympathy and prayers are with you.
Lloyd and Pat
