So sorry for your loss. I loved Joanne dearly. She was special, warm, loving and caring.
I have a lot of great and loving memories of spending summers at home with her (probably driving them crazy with my antics and guitar playing the same tunes over and over again).
We all enjoyed her colorful cards and warm thoughts and words. We will certainly miss them during the Holidays
She will truly be missed and always be in my heart and thoughts.
Rest in peace my dear cousin.
Our sincerest condolences.

My dear cousin. The matriarch of the 4 sisters. How I will miss your newsy cards for all the holidays, complete with colorful stickers on the envelopes.

You taught me calligraphy as a teen and it remains with me to this day.

I will miss your warm hugs, loving kisses, and the sparkle in your eyes when I saw you.

Brush off your Polish because there´s sure to be a reunion with your mom and aunts in heaven!

My heart is so sad but where there is great loss, great love remains.
