Joann and I worked together at BCBSLA. Joann left a lingering mark on my life and has always and will forever have a special place in my heart. She was so loving and kind; it was truly my pleasure to know her. I feel blessed that the Lord allowed us to spend that time together. Praying for her family and friends and believing that our Lord will provide his comfort and peace.
