I am deeply sorry to hear Joni has passed ! I missed seeing this information up until now . I KNOW how heartbroken you , all , must be ! Joni and I met at Downtown Farmers Market years ago . She and Randy bought our hot salsa by the case ! Joni and I would meet , sometimes , at a gas station where I'd deliver salsa to her . We'd call it " a dark alley " . What a huge loss to this earth !!! I thought of her as my friend , not a customer . I am so terribly sorry !

Joni was always kind, considerate, and thoughtful to us. She always wanted to know where we were; you know sometimes the role gets reversed. We will see her in Heaven. With our Love.
