Joanna & I worked together before she moved to Florida. Joanna was a special person always there for you when you needed her. I feel for her children as they were so much a part of her being. I will miss her e-mails and her phone calls. Beautiful Joanna rest in peace. Love, Pat

When my husband and I moved to Florida 12 years ago my cousin Joanna who I have not seen for many years was the first person to show us around Florida, and we were always welcome at her home for holiday dinners, I grow to love my cousin Joanna, and when I got word that I too had cancer, Joanna was always there to help me, even when she had her bad days, she was a kind person, I miss her.. Well, Joanna I hope your enjoying your shopping trips at that beauitful Mall there in Haven, Save some for me.

Love you
Cousin Gail.

I knew Joanna many years ago when she was a customer of the Lowell Five in Wilmington, Ma. I enjoyed seeing her come in the door as I knew we would have a lovely talk and share some laughs. She had a contagious laugh and soon everyone in the building would be smiling. I was so sad when she moved to Florida as I knew I would miss her. She was a special person and my life has been made richer for knowing her.
