Dear Family, JoAnn leaves me with awesome memories of days well spent with family gatherings at cottage clambakes. My parents loved Jerry and JoAnn..if you see Jerry you see JoAnn…if you see JoAnn you see Jerry. Their home was always open to share a cup of coffee and a kind word. JoAnn’s devotion to family was an inspiration. And she always had words of faith and encouragement for a friend. Her example of faith and strength and the unending capacity to give a hug and smile even when in pain was unbelievable….You are so loved JoAnn …what greater accomplishment? Love, Elaine Tannous

Uncle Tony and Aunt Millie extend our sympathy to everyone. Joann will be deeply missed but she knew where she was going–to be with Jesus. Her Christian faith was very evident to all that knew her. She was a very sweet lady and we are glad to have known her.
