To the Schultz Family,
We are sorry to see the passing of Joanne. Don and I both had connections to your family, as your father worked with me at CIPS and I had met your mother many times. Don knew your mother as a secretary at Feitians High School when he was there. And, also Don's connection to Law Enforcement with George. She was a sweet lady and will be missed by all who knew her. Our condolences to your family.
