My deepest condolences to the best next-door neighbors ever, the Gustafsons. Joanne was one of my favorite neighborhood moms. What a lovely, dear, kind lady. Rest in peace, Joanne.
We are so sorry for your loss. We remember visiting the whole family while Dad was in the hospital. We had a wonderful time, and have fond memories.
