I'm sorry to hear that. My wife and I would plan to go there for breakfast every time we were in town in the morning. We enjoyed the historic and relaxed atmosphere.

Our condolences.

What happened ?

In all honesty, is that important? A lady passed away. Out of respect to the deceased and any relatives, I think these details can be spared from a public message board. If its imperative to know, PM a relevant source.

Thanks for letting us know, Gringo. I knew Joanne when we first moved here although haven't seen her around much recently. Very sad news.

Lambada coincidentally about three weeks ago Joanne asked me to loan her my copy of your book, said she enjoyed it and could relate to the many things that you wrote.

Regrettably I had an appointment already arranged for 5.00 pm today Gringo & it is pne I cabn not get out of (I have been trying most of today).

My condolences to the family & friends who will sorely miss Joanne. Her open ear to a person in need of a chat & moan was almost legendary in PoP. She will be missed by more than just those who visited her emporium!

God Bless Joanne ~ Grahame.

Joanne Keefer

God bless her.
