My Story

Joan "Joannie from Pringle" Lewis

A more resilient woman you could not find.

Before mum died, your good deeds in her honor spanned 50 states and all 7 continents, even Antarctica!  Those stories kept her going. 

Now this baseball fan has 'rounded third' and made it home.  Thank you! for being part of "Joannie's World", where people wake up singing, and the cocoa is made from scratch. 




Before my mom was our mom she was "Joannie from Pringle".   A cheerleader with lots of boyfriends.  They called her 'Kid Dictionary' because she was smart.  She graduated high school at 16 and had 4 kids in 7 years.  

She's been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer.
Can you do one small thing?

Mum has faced everything life has thrown at her--and it's thrown a lot--with grace and grit.  She will continue to do so.

Mum LOVES to get mail and she lives to help others.

So would you please:

Do something nice for someone this week
.  Buy someone coffee.  Send a check to a charity.  Bring home flowers.  Any little thing to bring someone joy or take care of a need.
(If they ask why, you can tell them Joannie from Pringle sent
you.)

Then tell her what you did.  She'd get SUCH a kick out of it.

Joan loves mail, especially the old-fashioned kind delivered by a blue-clad postman.   But sign this guestbook, too. She reads it daily and has been so buoyed by your messages.
