To my cousins, Ray, Mike, Catherine and Patrick. I have been thinking about your mom for so long now. After my mom died, we lost contact and I always wondered how she was doing. I lost all my mom's addresses and phone numbers and the ones I do have were all outdated. I was looking for her on the internet and came across her passing and I am very saddened by it. I always enjoyed talking to her on the phone when she would call my mom. We had some very long talks when my mom was so sick and I will never forget them. She was always calling my mom and she was the only niece who did so. Now my mom is with your mom and I know they are catching up on everything. Once again, I am so sorry for your loss and I will always remember my cousin, Joany. Love to all of you, Maureen (Mo) Mileham Sagiao

Condolences to Joanie's family. We were teenagers together - Shirley Dickson, Donny Blechschmidt, Joanie & Ray. I have a great picture of Joanie in a Blue dress she wore to a dance-she, Ray,Donnie & I went to. We were at the wedding & I remember when the first child was born. As with all of us we moved away. She was a great friend. Prayers to all - Fran T.
