My Dear Joanie, I'll never forget the first time we walked in The Italian Club! I looked to my right, looking and scoping the first time visit, and I hear this lady yelling to gain my attention and welcomed us to her table. You were my Dear friend! No matter where you were, you called, ending it with, I Love You, and take it easy! Fly high Joanie and get in on the Heaven Polka! We will catch up again ❤️

Joanie was the most selfless woman you had the opportunity to meet. If you needed something she and her husband Paul were there to help no questions asked. Godspeed my lovely friend. 💕
