I was so sorry to hear the news of JoAnn's passing. JoAnn and I worked together when she first transferred up to Colorado Springs from San Antonio. She and her family adopted my dog, Cagney. Cagney needed young people to play with her and she was very loved by their family. In this hard time, please know my thoughts and prayers are with her family.

My deepest sympathy. I moved from Colorado Springs to Texas 2 years ago and I remember JoAnn very well. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. I worked with JoAnn and Doug for many years. They had purchased my ex-wife, Laura's house many years ago. I enjoyed working with both and wish your family the best in this difficult time.
