Dear Family, I just can't imagine the world without Joanie. It seems like forever that I've known her - from the days when all you kids were small, playing at the snow parties, to just recently when Joanie and I would catch a football game by the fence or have a nice dinner together. She was the strongest woman I ever knew. She was always there to listen and share and she made everyone she touched feel like family - and she truly meant it. The world will certainly be a sadder place without her beautiful light in it, and I will miss my dear friend so much. God Bless you all with peace. Anita Krupa
