Shantell, someone so special can never be forgotten. It will be the little things that you will remember,
the quiet moments,the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem
hard right now,it will be the memories
of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. With love and hugs.

Aunt Joan..
I can't believe you are gone. The only thing that makes me feel ok about it is that you are no longer suffering or in pain. you are soo young and I don't know why God wants the young ones. I know now that you will RIP and watch over everyone..

I, along with the my family grew up with Joanie and her siblings. She talked with such pride of being from the "Mowhawk Nation" Joanie was a great friend and I will miss her. To me she will always be forever young and healthy running through the fields. On behalf of the Gregorio family I wish to extend our heartfelt sympathy and love. Be at peace.
