Schroeder Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Joanne back in 1976 at the law office on N. Causeway. She worked for Wayne Leblanc and I worked for Ed Gordon. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Joanne was a lovely lady who always had a warm smile and greeting for me. I have wonderful memories of her and Bob at many Tulane football games, although the final score of the game was usually something we all wanted to forget. She was a fantastic member of the Krewe of Pontchartrain and we are all grateful for her organization skills which kept the costumes neat and orderly. She is now wrapped in the comforting love of Jesus. I will miss her.
