So sorry to learn of Joann's death. She was such a sweet person, enjoyed all people and was a lot of fun. Wiji (Louise) organized a "Couisins Weekend!" which we did 3 years. One special memory, we were at Wiji's house in Galena Park and were about to go to bed when someone appeared at the door. Wiji opened the door and there was Joann in her PJs and wanted to know if we would 'adopt" her as a couisin as we were having so much fun. We happily said yes She spent a lot of time with us. Thank you for sharing Joann with us and thank God for allowing her to be a part of our "reunion". She, Wiji, and Shirley (another couisin that was there and just passed away Aug 20) are having their own reunion, I believe. I have many happy memories of the Smith's, Cook's and Fry's also. May God give you strentgh each day to carry on your lives without this dear lady. Carolyn Anderson, Emme Jean Koenig (the other couisin) sends her love also.
OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY AT HAVING LOST OUR LIFELONG DEAR FRIEND. SHE WAS A SENSITIVE AND TENDER LADY WHO WAS LIKE A SISTER TO MY SIS (MARILYN WELLS) AND ME. SHE COURAGEOUSLY BATTLED THE RAVAGES OF LUPUS AND ITS ACCOMPANYING ILLNESSES FOR MANY YEARS, AND THEN CAME THE ADDED ILLNESS OF COPD. WE PRAYED MANY PRAYERS FOR HER, AND GOD IN HIS GREAT MERCY AND LOVE, SENT LYNN CROW TO BE HER HUSBAND. THEY ONLY HAD 3-1/2 YEARS TOGETHER, BUT IN THAT TIME SPAN HE LOVED AND CHERISHED HER, NURSED HER AND TOOK CARE OF HER, AND TURNED HER YARD INTO A LOVELY FLOWER GARDEN, WHICH WAS SOMETHING SHE HAD ALWAYS WANTED. SHE IS A FLOWER GONE OUT OF OUR LIVES. WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING HER IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY, WHERE SHE WILL BE TOTALLY WHOLE AND HEALTHY. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.
JoAnn was always the typical sweet southern lady, who loved to laugh...We will miss you at Bunko and Red Hats
Your mom was such a lovely woman and she will truly be missed.
We were very saddened by JoAnn's death. Gail lived next door to JoAnn when she first moved to Houston (Galena Park). She will be missed. Bob & Gail Fry
