Dear Des and DJ,
Joanie will live on by virtue of the good deeds and accomplishments she achieved during her brief lifetime. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to observe her growth from the young teen to the fine attorney, author and individual she grew up to be. Anne and I send our most heartfelt condolences.

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
Joannie will be sorely missed, I have fun memories growing up with her as a child. Her Aunt Joan- (her Godmother) will watch over her. Love to all the Smet Family.Our Deep condolences,
Chuck & Dee Schumann
