I grew up with JoAnn, we were in Blue Birds and Campfire girls together and graduated the same class. Although I haven't seen her in a long time, since our last reunion maybe, I just wanted to extend my sympathies to Dan and her family. You may or not remember me Dan but we all graduated together, I went with Dan Smith. My parents John & Helen Hileski knew Jo's parents. It sounds like you had a wonderful lifelong marriage and I wish you all the best. She will be missed. Pam Hileski Meyer

Dearest Howsden Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember meeting JoAnne when I was young and over at the Howsden home visiting with Jan. I remember her huge smile and how much Jan adored her older sister. May your hearts find peace in this difficult time. Love Nancy Norby Mathews and family
