Aunt Joanne was a fine southern lady and will be missed by all.
She seemed to always have the answer to any question or problem and had such a great sense of humor.
Our hearts are with Joanne's family. What a great, refined lady she was! I always admired her.
I was saddened to hear about Joanne's death. I shall always remember her as a lovely lady and a very supportive room mother when Byron was in school. My prayers are are with you.
