Dearest Joanna, I cherish your memory dear "Fernanda Wannamiller," the only girl who wore mascara to school with your typical generosity you took us to the Copacabana, after Prom, front stage tables to watch Tom Jones. You made a graceful contribution to Notre Dame École's Class of 1969. You will live forever in my heart. My deepest condolences to those you left behind. I know you will watch over them.
