I have many happy memories of Joann. She has been a best friend of my sister, Joann Niemann, and I was always the little sister wanting to be included in everthing. Joann always put up with me with patience, even during their teenage years when I´m sure I could be pest! I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Jim and the Family! I Love and Prayers
