My most sincere condolences to you Gina and Anthony. Your Mom was a very nice lady and I’m glad I had the pleasure of knowing her. May she Rest In Peace. And may you find peace and comfort in these days and the memories you have.
“Auntie Joanie” was such a warm, loving, and caring person to me always – and even took a keen interest in meeting my wife, Halle, at the various cousins’ bridal and baby showers in more recent years. (That was SO touching for me to hear about!) I remember her coming to visit my grandparents from a very young age, and my taking trips with them to visit she and Uncle Sandy down at their ‘farm’ years later. R.I.P. dear Auntie, and peace for Gina, Tony, and family. I love you all
