We lived in Rialto from 4th to 6th grade and then returned when I was in my Junior year. Joann became a bff very quickly along with Shirley Glaubig, Phyllis Lawson and Pat Bence. Three of us, (my brother Mike and Shirley, Tom Ashley and Jo, and Phil Thomas and I) double dated a lot in those days and developed lifelong friendships. Joann was my daughter's day care mom for several years and when my son came along, she took care of him also. I was a bridesmaid in her first marriage, and a photographer at her second. She was kind, generous, down to earth and could always be counted on. Even when we didn't see each other for months, we could always take up where we left off. She was an unforgettable friend and I think of her often. She left us far too soon.
