So sorry to hear of Joanie’s passing. I worked with her at Avon. She was such a sweet, caring person – loved all the jewelry she wore! She was truly one of a kind and I’m lucky to have known her. I remember seeing her occasionally at Kohl’s after she retired. Also remember the Town Car(s) she drove! May your memories and all the lives she touched help you through this difficult time.

Just saw this about Joanie and Read about family, Please know we are so sad to hear of Jonie s & Ronnie s passing. Ronnie & my dad Tony Herlehy both had a love for boats and fishing. We would all go out esp. down from Indian River. Both of them were such good friends all my life growing up. About 6 yrs ago I had a yard sale & your dad Ronny came not knowing it was my house. Mom who is 97 presently , and I kept saying he looks familiar when we all discovered who every was. It was nice to see him. So sorry about both your parents but they will never be forgotten.♥️♥️ KHD
