My sincere sympathies on the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. I remember first meeting JoAnn at a sleep-over at Lynda's. We were freshmen at IWA and Mr. Busse and JoAnn came in late from the Father/Daughter event at Fontbonne. She was so sweet. Each time I saw her, I could see so much love for her family. She wore a contagious smile and made others around her smile and feel so welcomed. May she rest in peace.
