To my Aunt Joann,
You were like a mother to all of us boys. You had the ability to light up every room you walked in to and make everyone around you smile. I have a million great memories with you. My favorite will forever be dancing with you at my wedding. You fought so hard and you were still able to make me and my wife the happiest people in the world that day by being with us. We will love you forever. You are and Angel.
