Valley, NE Tuesday, May 28, 2024 Matt and Lori, I regret I am unable to attend Joanie's service due to health issues. I would have liked to share this day with you as I haven't seen you for some time. The brief time I knew Joanie and the times we met, she was so upbeat and a joy to know. I never saw her without her smile. Please accept my condolences and know thoughts and prayers go with you as you lay your mother to rest. Sincerely, Keith JansenClaire Smutz
