Don,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the rest of JoAnn’s family. I know you all have had such a tough time. JoAnn was the sweetest person that you could ever meet. My fondest memory of JoAnn is weaning Lil’ Michael (Smith) from his pacifier when you two kept the twins for Mike & me. It was so sad to hear about her. I know that even though she is still with you as your angel now, she will greatly missed. Be strong for yourself and know that you will be reunited with her in the time to come. We love you very much.
Sandy, Michael, Hayley and Colton Earl (Family of Michael Smith)
