I'm so very sorry for the passing of your mom. Joanie was a pleasure to work with and I truly loved her laugh. I admired her strength while Steve was struggling with the end stage of his life. Joan was incredible while she endured her spine surgeries. Most of all I remember her talking about her love for her children . Peace and Prayers God will give you strength and endurance. Make your momma proud. I knew your mom for 30+ years. Peace to both of you. 💚
