    I only knew her for 2 1/2 short years but we sure had fun every Friday night at Chicago Pizza. I would drive because JoAnne wasn't the "best" driver. Our dolphin cruise was the most fun I had in ages we all loved the many dolphins we saw. I will miss our adventures together and will never forget how you welcomed me into the neighborhood and took me under your wing. Fly high my friend I will miss you and your smile.

    I lost a dear friend and I will miss her very much. We had lots of fun and I have many good memories. We were dubbed "Thelma and Louise".

    JoAnne is at peace, free of pain and will meet up with the love of her life, her husband Frank.

    Condolences to all her family and friends that loved her. There were a lot of us. A special person - one of a kind.

    3 wks ago today we had to say goodbye to mom. How our lives changed in the blink of an eye. As we remember mom we cannot help to laugh about all of the funny stories she would tell. Has anyone arrived to a wedding a week late because they got the date wrong? My mom and dad did! I will always remember her infectious laugh, her strong will and her devotion to family. We will miss you each and every day mom. Keep watch over Tristan, Nathan, Cole and Caleb and watch them grow and experience lifes many adventures. We love you

    Don't think of her as gone away. Her journey's just begun. Life holds so many facets, the earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched. For nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much.
