Royce, I am so very sorry about Joann. We do not get the paper, so I missed the original notice. I was gone from Marshall for many years, and moved back in 1979. I don't know why, but whenever I went back and forth to Longview on US80, I'd think of her whenever I passed the area where she used to live way back in shool years. There were times when Mary Beth (my sister) and I would take JoAnn home at night after some school function or other. I am nearly positive that she was in the band with us. I know that I have seen you since I moved back here, but was unaware that yoou and Joann had married and stayed here. I wish that I had know of this before the visitation and service. Please accept my profound sorrow at her passing, and my prayers that you will slowly come to terms that she is with God and his son Jesus in Heaven.
