I am Joanie Shirleys older sister we had a lot of fun growing up being five years older than her I always looked out for her until the day when she wanted to play hide and seek and she locked me in a closet with no way out but when we grew older we laughed about it. My sister was a dedicated mother to her three beautiful daughters.She had a strong love for animals. I will truly and deeply miss her. She can now rest with no more pain she will be with Mom and Dad and our sister Susan. I will love you always and forever until we will be together again.
