Your life was too short, and many memories not yet made. You brought tremendous joy not only to your children but also to my own. I know Joanne will always be watching over Brian and Jillian, laughing when they laugh and crying when they cry, but no words are going to take away that sadness you both carry inside, we wish there was. Your mom will always be with you. You are in our thoughts.
Stephen, Laura, Kayla, & Devin.

From an open heart came an open home. Open arms have left an open wound. But a loving smile has left memories of joy. Thank You Joanne for all you were.

Joanne was instrumental in my journey. I knew Joanne for 10 years of her sobriety. She was a remarkable woman who overcame so many obstacles with dignity and courage. She gave me hope. We had the honor and pleasure of sharing Thanksgivings, Christmas Eves, New Year's Eve, Easters, and the boys Birthdays with her, Brian, and Jillian. She taught me how to be a single parent and she taught me how to pray when I could not. She was my prayer partner and she was my friend. I remember her love of her garden and of angels. God must of needed a special angel in heaven to watch over those of us on earth. She was a kind, generous, loving person, Mother, daughter, and friend. I shall miss her dearly.
One of my fondest memories of Joanne is when she taught my childern to bang pots with spoons to welcome in New Years Eve. There we all were freezing in the snow banging pots and pans on New Year's Eve in front of her house at midnight, kids and dogs in the snow waking up the neighbors.
I shall miss you dear Joanne!! My condolences and prayers to dear Brian and Jillian. You are in our hearts and prayers. God sent a special angel Joanne to be with us a short time on Earth and we were graced and blessed by her and now he calls her to help him in Heaven watch over us! In Sympathy, Love Cherye, Joshua, and Jesse Shea. Newington, Connecticut, USA

Joanne was one of the constants in my life. She had always been there for me whenever I needed a friend. I knew Joanne for 4 years and in that time I realized that I had met very few people in my lifetime with the kindness and capacity for love that Joanne had. She has taught me many things, kindness, unselfishness, giving of oneself without complaining, being grateful for everyday of life and counting my blessings. These are only a few. I will miss you Joanne. You will live in my heart forever. You defininately were one of my dearest friends. I love you. Till we meet again, Kathleen

There are no words to say goodbye appropriately to a person who shared so much of our lives-birthdays, summer holidays, baptisms, cutting down christmas tree, dressing up for halloween...How can we make sense of loving someone so much and not being able to share that with her anymore. Joanne worked very hard at being grateful for her blessings! We will gather strength in gratitude that we were able to know and love such a beautiful, kind, loving person! We will miss you and never forget you! Cardinals, Rainbows and dragonflys....Joanne...we love you...

I will miss the stories that Joanne had to tell. She told them with such flair. I will miss Joanne's shy smile. I will miss Joanne's calls at work. I will miss Joanne's trials & tribulations for me to gain strength. I will miss Joanne's successes to give me hope. I will miss Joanne. God Bless you Joanne.

When I moved to Niagara in 1999 Joanne was one of the first to make me feel welcome. I can see her bright smile now as I write this. And I can hear her funny greeting to me in her fake southern accent to tease me.
I am so grateful to have had a nice afternoon with her at a mutual friend's home this summer. We had a lovely, lovely afternoon that I will always think of when I think of her.
I will miss her very much. She was a great lady.

To Joanne's family,
I never had the priviledge of meeting any of you as I had the priviledge of knowing and sharing with Joanne at numerous Fellowship meetings. She was a very caring person and she helped me a great deal over the few short years of our acquaintance. Think of her as being in a better place. She will be missed but never forgotten.
The period of sobriety she experienced can never be taken away and it stands as a reminder that we are only here One Day at a Time.
May God Bless you and keep you in this time of grief and difficulty.
God Grant us all the Serenity to Accept the Things we cannot change,
Courage to change the Things we can,and
Wisdom to know the difference.

I met Joanne almost 10 years ago and have always found her to be a person living an exceptionally remarkable life. She was a woman who had many obstacles put in her path over so many years and few were of her own doing. She met each and every one with all the strength that she had - with a kind heart and concern for others.
I will miss her very much.
