Dear Carolyn and Jackie,
I have just heard the sad news about Joanie. She was indeed a wonderful person. In the 30 years I knew her, we would get back up with each other after a long lapse and it was like we had just talked the day before. Her friendship will always be in my heart. I only wished I had called her more often and more recently.
My thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Joan. I had been one of her roommates back in the sixties. Had been thinking about her the last few years, wanting to get together and catch up on old times. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Carolyn and Jackie,

I put people in 2 catagories. The lifeboaters, and those that aren't. Joannie was definitely someone I'd want in the lifeboat with me. Joannie was one of my dearest, closest friends, the kind you could talk to every 2 months and pick up right where you left off. How we laughed together, grumbled together, shared many thoughts, propped each other up when needed. How I will miss her from my life, her strength and inspiration that touched so many. You're both in my thoughts. Take care.

Dear Jackie & Carolyn,

Please know how sorry I am on the loss of your sister. I lost mine 5 years ago and it is a very hard situation.
I had the privilege of working on real estate closings with Joanie when she was with Page Allen. She was always approachable and a pleasure to know.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Carolyn & Jackie:

I had the priviledge of meeting Joanie and getting to know her when I worked for StyleCraft Homes. I will never forget her patience, with me, and all that she did to teach me to read and understand a HUD statement. She was always willing to help. As Irene wrote, I know Joanie is how free of the pain. I pray God will comfort all of your hearts as only HE can do.

Caroly and Jackie,

We are greatly saddened to learn of Joanie's death. For over 15 years we have known her through the law offices of Marshall Tuck and through S. Page Allen & Associates. Even though we are sad, I know Joanie is now freed from all pain and resting in a better place. We have been with her through tough times and happy times. Joanie will always have a special place in our hearts. Please accept our sincere sympathies on your loss.
