Jo, I have known you all my life. You was my Mother's best friend. She loved you dearly. Memories of us all going boating together when I was just a kid to going to the Newburg Fire Hall dancing. Then to just you and I out for dinner. I enjoyed our time together. You will be very sadly missed by me. Now I hope Frank was waiting for you at the pearly gate. I know that you missed him dearly. RIP My Dear Friend. You will be Forever in my ❤️ 🙏💔

Miss Joan, I will truly miss you. Seeing you almost weekly for the past 30 years and doing your hair for probably 25 of them, you were just not a client , you became family. Loved hearing your life stories and having you become apart of mine. Rest in Peace Little Miss Joan. Love you always. , Missy
