Joanne was a lovely woman. She enjoyed my mother Kathie Gulbicki´s company/friendship. Joanne would visit every Christmas Eve at my moms house in Dracut and help my mom touching something up in the house. Her pita was so delicious she would make it every holiday. She also enjoyed all my mom´s grandchildren. You couldn´t ask for a better friend/person on earth.
