    I was a classmate and friend to Joanne and remember playing with her at her home. I lived nearby and would walk (over the foot bridge) to see Joanne and her family. Life is so short, it seems like yesterday. My sincere condolences to Joanne and her family!

    Carlotta always met me with a smile, and even after retiring to be with Joe, never forgot her friends. I’ll miss her.
