It Started with a Kiss

The 63-year journey for Joanne and Stan was written because everyone should have the opportunity to see how Joanne spent her life helping everyone. I surprised her with an ever-so-gentle kiss on our blind date. She said she doesn't let guys kiss her on the first date. I replied, "e;there is always a first time for everything."e;We were married on June 28, 1958, on a beautiful sunshiney day. As the days turned to weeks to months and then years, our love grew. She didn't want the attention, was our cheerleader for all of us and was the center of the family. Together we were a team that lived the American dream. Joanne made me what I am today a guy who loved her and misses her and will work to be with her in heaven.
