Although I lost track of Joanne, and thanks to Facebook we reconnected. By seeing her posts on Facebook it was east to tell a lot of her character. Her posts were of socially conscious topics and most of all, hilarious. We were going to try get together in some way but it just never worked out. I'm so glad that she is now in the company of her mother and 4 sisters, of which I knew also. All very strong and courageous. RIP Joanne!
