Oh how I am going to miss our long talks when you would come in to my work Miss Joanie. How you talked so sweetly about my grandmother and my family. Rest In Heaven

I was saddened to hear of Joanie's passing. We met and became friends as we worked together as a team at KSH in the same department for a number of years. She was a sweet, gentle soul and a friend to everyone. We shared many laughs, meetings, lunches, etc. She even attended my wedding 20 years ago. My how time flies. We used to call her "Joanser." Lol! The thought of her makes me smile. I also remember how that she professed to be a believer in Jesus, so I am confident she is with Him in heaven now. Rest in peace my friend.
