Joanne was a best friend starting in 8th grade after meeting in Silver Spurs. She came in and out of my life. We both worked at Sacred Heart and l was volunteering at Longfellow when she was there. We talked a lot about the loss of her precious granddaughter who she loved very much. Also spent many weekends at her parents home when we were in high school. She will be missed. Wendy Holcomb
