JoAnn was my Aunt. I am so glad I got to visit with her a few years ago. She was so strong for so long while taking her treatments. She has been a blessing to my Dad, Frank Barnes. JoAnn thank you for helping him the past recent years. He has been able to have a quality of life because of your help. Thank You So Much.
Your family is going to miss you, but you did so much for so many - while you were with us.

Rest in Peace,
