Joanne was a lovely woman and although our families were just recently joined we have known some of the family for a long time. She has been in our prayers and we know she is at peace with our Lord now. The family is in our thoughts and we know she will be sorely missed. Cal & Cheryl Ruska

Joanne was such a great sport; a great voluteer for the Hospital Auxillary Fashion show. I always looked forward to seeing her. I know your family will miss her presence in your lives; I know I will. May you find peace and comfort in your memories of such a wonderful lady. Kathie Kukull Teslaw
