    JoAnn was a wonderful person and I will cherish the memories I have of her, from our Bayou Meto days, to coaching our girls softball team, my son and her granddaughter (Bailey) going to Prom and running into her at Wal-Mart and talking forever. My love and prayers to the family. Heaven gained another angel!
