What a truly amazing tribute. I think you might be single-handedly bringing the romance and soul of British obituaries to the Midwest. Your memorial portraits leave the reader with a real appreciation for the person and her life. I don't know that there would be any better way to be commemorated.
She sounds like a hell of a lady. You were so fortunate to know her like. And she you.
Jake, you've gotten my day started in tears--both for the loss of such a gallant, wonderful lady, and for the eloquence and love of your tribute.
A lovely tribute.
Eloquent and touching. She souinds like a good example of how to live life.
she sounds like a real treat.
what a great lady to have known.
Well done.
HELLO
GREAT POST !!!!!!

Amazing, Jake. I have tears in my eyes.
I'm so sorry you lost a friend, but you will carry on her memory which is the best tribute.
That was very touching - you both were lucky to have known each other.
Wow. I'm simply speechless. This was one of your best writings, Jake...
Wow.
It seems to me that you have been blessed with some wonderful people in your life that were taken from you all too soon-- your friend Miriam, for one, and now Joanne. And each of them meant something very special to you-- as is evidenced by your words.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Goosebumps!
Waw, that was really powerful and so incredible! It brought a tear to my eye! I'm sorry, this comment is the same as everyone elses, but I just thought I would tell you what an amazing thing that was to read xxx
