I was thinking of JoAnne this morning while landscaping. As I remember, she always put a tarp down to gather the trimmings. Thank you JoAnne for the memory and tip. You always kept a great landscape. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of JoAnne. She will be in my thoughts and prayers. I was just a kid when I knew her. Played with Paul, James and Andrea on Nagle street. She was a nice lady. Sincerely, Maria Pedersen

I was so sorry to hear about JoAnn's passing from my sister Cindy. We lived across the street from you on Nagle Ave. She was always so kind. I was a kid in a hurry to grow up and she and John would always tell me not to be trying to grow up so fast, that someday I would realize those were some of the best and simplest days of my life. I would laugh and say no way! Well you were so right! I will keep your family in my prayers. Rest in peace Mrs. Frale. Rest in Peace.

Rest In Peace, JoAnn. You were my wonderful neighbor back in the day on Nagle Ave. in Chicago. Over the years, we kept in touch via annual Christmas cards. Yours was the first card I received every year. I always looked forward to seeing it in my mailbox the day after Thanksgiving. Sending deepest sympathy to John, Paul and Andrea.

May your memories give you peace and comfort of your loved one. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the loss of your loved one. May GOD be with you all during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.
