I consider myself fortunate to have been able to care for Joanne the last few days she was with us. It was touching to witness her joyful expression as each family member arrived. In three short days I feel I came to know a very humerous and courageous woman. I am sure she is missed dearly by her family.

To Joanne's family, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Joanne was a wonderful woman and she meant so much to my Grandpa Strenke. That made her invaluable to me, the joy and happiness she brought him, brought warmth to my heart. You all are better for have known her. My prayers and love go out to you at this time.
