Ms. JoAnn was one of the strongest, bravest women I've ever known. She helped me when my own family wouldn't and I know I'm not the only one who can say that. I loved how she didn't let her illness define her and she sure as heck didn't let it rule her. Ms. Jo didn't let the heart aches and trials she had experienced beat her down or make her change who she was. She wouldnt take any nonsense but she also didn't hold a grudge. When she made up her mind that she was your friend, then that was that. I've never met someone who held on to life with such sheer determination and grace. Ms.Jo had to make sure the people she loved most were going to be taken care of, she didn't want to leave but if she had to go, she had a list of demands that were non negotiable!   I miss sitting with her in her room, listening to music and laughing. I will always remember the advice she gave me and how much fun it was going thrift shopping with her when spring was fresh in the air or the look on her face when we talked about how awesome it would be to have a "she shack". Everything I heard her decide that she wanted, she didn't stop till she had it. They don't make women like Ms. JoAnn anymore and the world isn't as pretty with her gone.   She was a hell of a lady and I just hope will all my heart  that she's out there, free having the next grand adventure.

I can't list only one, when there was a lifetime to remember. To have someone in your life basically forever the whole episode becomes a wonderful memory we were young we were young adults we were adults we were all old but we were friends. I don't know if it's your heart or your soul but I feel I've lost another little piece.

Joann loved everybody,she was the best friend I ever had,she will be missed by me and steve,RIP my friend,and don't forget to hold the gate open for me!

Sorry to hear the loss of a loved one. May you all remember the good times you've had.
