JoAnn,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom! I will miss both her and Joe, they both made a huge impact on me in my hospice career. Atleast now she is with Joe, in peace.

John and JoAnn:
Your mother and my mother, Helen Leff Stephenson, were first cousins and about the same age. I have fond memories of your dad and mom visiting my folks at Fairmont, Nebraska, or my grandmother and mother visiting your folks and Aunt Bess and Uncle John Adrian. I am sorry for your loss.
