I was one of her son Michael's co-workers in the early 80s, and was especially saddened to see that he preceded her in death. I had been living out of state for the last 20 years, so I lost touch with many of the people I used to work with in Chicago. My deepest sympathies to Joanna in both her losses, as well as my condolences to the family for both Mike and Gert. My prayers are with you all!
