I knew JoAnn Cousins many years ago we were close friends from First Baptist Church. We had many laughs many good times together. She & I shared recipes, worked on each other’s hair. She was such a delightful friend. I moved away, remarried, lost contact with her. I cherish the memories. Loved her dearly.
