Oma touched our lives as family and as a friend. I will miss my Christmas morning phone call from her. Her kindness and love will never be forgotten!

You will be so missed Joey! And your memory will always be cherished and honored in our home and your families.. I'll never forget you always being so kind to me and every time you would make your AMAZINGGGG homemade German potato salad I loved it SOOOOO much that you would make a whole thing just for me in a giant Ziploc bag when you would come to our family get togethers. My Grammy always loved you so much and your friendship. Again you will be so missed, sending you big hugs and lots of love in Heaven! ?️??

I am so broken hearted after learning today that I lost my precious and dear friend, Joey. She had been my friend since 1961 and we were roommates when attending business school in Raleigh. I have lost a forever friend but Heaven has received an angel to sing in their choir. I will really miss our little conversations. Love you, Joey ♥️ Mary Linda
