Susan and Jama, I am so sorry to hear Joan passed away. We can however rejoice that she is in perfect eternal peace.
My beautiful baby sister is now free. She was the bravest sister anyone could have. My favorite flash back was Joane and her pie tin. Joane was maybe 3 ish and not able to crawl so plan 2 was in place. Not sure who had the idea but the pie tin idea was genius! Grab the pie tin & Joane had wings to fly through the house. My sister Jama has been the pillar in Joane’s care. Daddy ask Jama “to take care of her” which she has done in a beautiful unselfish manner. My love for you Joane will be in my heart forever. Susan
