To the family of Joannie, It is with deep sorrow that I ahare with you in the loss of your Mother, but It is with how we have lived that affects those we leave behind. She will always be remembered and forever be in our hearts, and I could not have had a better medical office experience without your mother at my side.

Dear Joanie; Joey; Jaime; Romeo; Joe; and Angel Richard and I hope that our thoughts and prayers bring you and your family comfort and peace as we hold Joanie's memory close to us all. I remember a quote which said, "Don't cry because its over ---- smile because it happened" This was written by Dr. Suess and somehow it now comes to my memory. Perhaps it i appropriate, because it is exactly how I am feeling. My friendship with Joanie happened so very many years ago, and I smile as I remember all the cherished memories and moments that we shared and will keep them close to my heart forever. I will cry.....because it is over.....and my heart aches as I will miss my forever friend. Love, Maryalice
