Joanna's heart of gold and her love for the Lord were genuine and shared so warmly. We became friends 32 years ago, and she never wavered from her dedicated love for her family and friends. She will be greatly missed, but the joy she shared lives on in our hearts forever. Jesus holds her in the palm of His hand. We love you Joanna

I worked for Dr. Griffin Brame. I got to know Mrs. Mendrzycki when she came in for her appointments. She was a very nice lady and always had a smile on her face. I looked forward to talking with her when she came in. I retired almost two years ago and really miss special patients like her. Prayers for your family. Mary Bradshaw
