To the extended Moore family: I was so sorry to read Joanie's obituary in the Pioneer Press. I immediately recognized her name and recalled her beautiful, laughing and smiling image. Joanie and Lefty were very dear friends to my parents, Jan and Bill Hetherington. Many a good time was shared by them at Skokie Country Club. I trust that Joanie is enjoying a cocktail in Heaven with Jan and Bill, toasting and watching over those of us still here. My prayers go out to all of you as you remember her. With love, Stacy Hetherington Simpson
