So saddened to hear of Joelle´s passing. We were close growing up in Skokie, but lost touch as years went by. We reconnected on FB a few years ago and it was nice to hear about her family especially how very proud she was of her grand and great grandkids. May Joelle rest in peace. You will be remembered for your kindness, friendship & loving heart.
