    JoAnne was a wonderful, caring person! Spent some memorable times with this lady at A Bow K Florals making many people in the area smile with our flowers! She was a delight to know and she will be missed so much! RIP my friend! My thoughts and prayers go to Bernie, Gene and Cathy and Shaun during this difficult time
