Joanne was a beautiful soul, with a smile that could light up a room. She was always sweet, and thoughtful enough to remember even the smallest of requests (one that I made so many years ago)... She was a classy and savvy business woman who will be missed by myself and all at Meditech. Matt, may God bless you and hold you close.. know that Joanne rests with Him now.

My deepest sympathy to all of Joanne's family. Although I did not have the privilege to interact with Joanne on a daily basis, I can still remember how inspiring her words were the first time I met her.

When I heard that Joanne had passed away this past weekend it hit me as terribly shocking news. It served as such a close-to-home reminder of how immortal we all are.
Although Joanne's physical stature was that of a petite and diminutive person, she possessed the character, integrity and mental toughness of a giant.
She set a positive example and work ethic for generations of staff at MEDITECH. I know her spirit will be missed by her family, friends and her professional colleagues alike.
My deepest sympathies go out to those closest to Joanne who will indeed miss her the most.

Hello Matt and Family,
I always felt immediately comfortable when I saw Joanne at a Meditech event. You did not have to spend much time with her to see what a talented and kind person she was. You were so lucky to have her and I know keeping her with you will be a constant source of comfort just like she was. Doris Rezza

Matt, I am so sorry for your loss. I was honored to have worked with her on different projects or travel with her at MEDITECH. I will always remember the dedication, loyalty and fight she had in the business world, but more important the glow in her eyes when she spoke of your home with the thatched roof, the special and beautiful work you did with houses and of course the many animals that you both nurtured. I really enjoyed the stories she shared with us. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. She was a very special person as you know first hand, but there are thousands who had the opportunity to learn that as well. We are grateful for this. Karen

To Matt and the members of Joanne's family,
I wanted to share my sincere condolences for your loss. I first met Joanne 16 years ago when I interviewed for a position at MEDITECH. She hired me, and I worked for her for many years. I am grateful for the opportunities she provided me. She also hired my husband so I am extra grateful to her for that! She was an inspriation and a role model. She will be missed not only by me, but by the entire MEDITECH family. May you be comforted by the happy memories you shared together of a strong and wonderful woman.
Sincerely
Christine Silva

Matt, we are truly so sorry for your loss. We were always in touch with Joanne when she came to the Framingham building. She always put a smile on our face, when she came to the desk, and surprised us with those amazing eggs. She was very special and we will miss her so much. Our love and thoughs are with you.

I wanted to express my condolences to everyone who knew Joanne; her family, friends, coworkers. I have been working under Joanne for quite some time in different roles and have always been inspired with how she led the division. She was fair, consistent, methodical and above all respected. It meant a lot to me to get that email from her saying thank you or recognizing something that you did. That in her position she would take the time to recognize someone in the front lines for the work they did meant a lot and you knew it was sincere. It was very motivating to me and I would say to myself, "that is where I want to be one day and that is how I want to be when I get there". Joanne had much influence on our Company, our business and our customers but it should also be noted that she had an influence on people building their careers. She was a role model, will continue to be role model and we will miss her.

My sympathies go out to Joanne's family. Joanne and I worked together at Meditech many years ago and I have fond memories of her. She was a hard worker, but she also knew how to have fun and we had some good times together. I'm am so sorry to hear of her passing at such a young age.

Matt and family,
After working with Joanne for a relatively short time here at LSS, I am very saddened by her loss. She was driven, hard working, intelligent, and compassionate. I am glad for the time we had with her and will miss her. Her gifts will live on in the MEDITECH staff who had an opportunity to learn from and be inspired by her.
I just happened to run across this quote today, and it made me think of Joanne.
"The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on."
Walter Lippmann
My condolences to you and your family. My thoughts are with you. She was a special woman.

Matt, having worked at MEDITECH for 27 years, 15 of them in Canton, I was fortunate to know Joanne personally. She was an amazing person and a very respected Vice President. She worked tirelessly and was an inspiration to all of us at MEDITECH. I loved when she called in when I was on the switchboard; she was so wonderful to speak with. I will truly miss Joanne. I am so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
