My special friend Joni. I enjoyed all the years we worked together at Felida.I still chuckle about the time we had Chef salads at your house in fish bowls! You looked for the best in everyone, and never had a bad thought about anyone. You cherished every single moment you had with Chris and Keylee. You have left a big hole in their hearts and a whole lot of others as well. My dear dear friend you have received your wings. Much love to you .Big hugs to you Keylee and Chris.

We are so sad to hear this! Casey and I sold her home to her in Lakeshore. She absolutely loved it and remodeled it and made it hers. Rest in peace, sweet Joni, and thank you for having us over and continuing to be a friend! Casey and Sue Collins
