Joanne was our neighbor all the time I lived on Two Ridge Road. She was a kind generous person who was always amazing to my parents, Doyle and Nancy Ohler. She was appreciated. I am so sorry for your loss. It is difficult to lose a mother. 🙏🏻

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't wait till the day when the grand reunion starts. Your mom and dad were always so hospitable allowing anyone including me to enjoy the pleasure to be in their presence. I have not forgotten nor will ever forget the love they showed me. I look forward to seeing them again. All my love and deepest sympathy. Michelle (always a Findlay) Finney
