I have tried for years to find Joanne and reconnect with her after my divorce with Micheal Jeffries. I moved to NJ. I saw this in the Penny High announcements. I am sad I never connected. My prayers to the family.

Aunt Jo encouraged me to dive into cooking and I can´t thank her enough for giving me the opportunity to cook for the family when I was younger. She was always very gentle and kind to me even when I was a pain in the rear. Aunt Jo you were loved and you will be missed!
