Joanie and Benjamin, “the boy” would go fishing and enjoy anything outdoors together. She loved his soft spot for helping animals and never could quite tell him no when he would bring one to her.  Aiden, “Goobie” and his protective nature and intelligence made Joanie so proud of him. She always encouraged her daughter, Carrigan “sissy” to pursue her passion for arts and admired her for her creativity and individuality.
