12/22/2015. Unfortunately I was trying to determine why my xmas card was returned only to determine that Joanne had passed. I am a neighbor from PHila. and remember most of the family incuding Alph an Lil, george bartty, bumpsie, joanne, jimmy, and merrill. It is very sad, although the last time I saw her my mother was celebrating her 70th birthday and if she had lived would now be 85. I am saddened that Joanne has passed
and feel a deep loss that the the world no
longer has her here. Bud Donahue 256 Amherst St. Wenonah, NJ 08090, 856 468 6604.
