Joanne "Perica" Garay

My cousin my best friend.  

Let me share a little about this amazing person. 
She loved her family.
She loved people. She would make friends where ever she went.
She loved to bbq,
She loved oldies.
She loved the Raiders
She loved to write poetry.
She didn't live an extravagant life, she loved simple things and was content.

When she took her last breath she took a part of me with her. 

Yuki, I luv you, and you will always be in my thoughts.   

Cousin Debbie.
