Birthday "surprise".

DAY 79 - March 19, 2019

Tonight we celebrated my good friend Joann's 40th birthday. She doesn't turn 40 until April 3rd but this was to be a surprised party for her. Her sister Jackie was even planning on coming in from Kansas City and Joann knew nothing about it.

This week brought about some sadness though for their family. On Tuesday night Joann's mother went into the hospital. She's been having some health problems lately. She passed away the morning of March 17th.

Luckily Joann's sister Jackie was able to catch a flight and made it to the hospital in time to see her mom before she passed. Joann also has another sister Janet that lives here in town.

The 3 of them and their families made the necessary arrangements through the week. Joann's sisters decided to tell her about the surprise limo ride and party they had planned for Friday night. The 3 of them decided to move forward with those plans as that's the way their mom would have wanted it.

Here is the group at Ike and Jonesys downtown. Joann is 3rd from the right.
