    Joanne was a blessed, chill soul on this earth. The few times I was lucky enough to spend time with her was enjoyable. She evened you out. The cool to your hot. The calm to your storm. You were a lucky man to have near 40 years. My heart goes out to you and your family in these dark days. Peace to you and your family.

    I am so saddened to hear that JoAnne has passed away. She was my high school buddy and I loved her. We lost contact through the years but I did get to see her a few years ago and catch up on life. My condolences to her husband, sons and grandchildren.

    My beautiful bride.
    We’ve only just lost you; the pain is hard to bear.
    We’ll have to go through life knowing you’re not here.
    Someone please explain to me why she had to go.
    Are there any reasons, I really need to know.
    I sit here and remember all the loving times we shared,
    the talks, the laughter, with everyone that cared.
    I’m told the pain will ease in time
    and I’ll think of her without a tear,
    but that will be impossible as I want to have her here.
    She was my very world, my ever-guiding star.
    I wish she’d kiss me on the cheek and tell me she’s not far.

      Beautifully put Dave. She’s busy right now too but she’ll be in touch…when things settle down! <3
