&#13;
She lived her life in Racine and Syracuse. She will be remembered as a good mother and a dear friend.&#13;
&#13;
She strived to be a good neighbor and was loved by many. Always offering an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on, and a laugh or two. She had been baptized and believed she would rejoin her loved ones. She was a lot of things to many, but all of us lucky enough to know Joni knew her to be short and sweet.&#13;
