John, sorry to hear of Joann’s passing. I remember at the last breakfast you said she wasn’t doing well. At times like these comforting words always seem hard to find, so, I’ll just say I’m sorry for your loss & take care.

Thank you for your kind words during this time. I wasn’t quite ready for breakfast this month. Hopefully by next month. Have a Merry Christmas.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I was Joann’s best friend through high school and we got into plenty of trouble together. Although for her she was always afraid to stray very far from being that good girl, even thou I tried. I have so many great memories of our days going to Fremont Ross as best friends. We lost touch after I first moved to Toledo and then Florida but we did meet up at our High School reunions. It’s with great sadness I write this but will remember her for the rest of my days with fondness and a smile.
John Florian
Ginger thank you for your kind words. I can’t picture JoAnn getting into much trouble though. She definitely liked to stay on the straight and narrow path throughout her life. I am thankful to have spent several happy years with her.

My deepest sympathy on the loss of JoAnn. I worked with her at Valley View for many years. All of us that worked with her called her Granny. She was a very caring person.
John Florian
Thank you for your kind words during this time. She talked fondly about her time working at Valley View. She was proud of her job as an STNA. She never met a stranger, I am sure everyone she came in contact with received the best of care.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of JoAnn after being best friends all these years. My heart goes out to all the family! She was always smiling and a lot of fun to be around. After I moved to Arizona, we kept in touch with each other on a pretty regular basis. She was an extra special friend!
John Florian
