JoAnn is my big sister, she was my friend and at times my advisor and even my mom. She had a heart of gold and she never met a stranger. She was the sweetest thing that you could ever meet. Growing up we went barefooted most of the time in the summer and I love to follow her around, people that knew us would say here comes big crusty feet and little crusty feet but that's who we were. She loved her family she loved her husband so much and her children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and she was always there for you. I will miss her more than I could ever say. I love you JoAnn and you will always be with me
