It's been just about 3 years since Joanie passed away, and I miss her every day. We had a very special friendship, and I know that I will never have one like that again. You were such fun to be with. I loved you, and sometimes I swear that I can feel you sitting beside me!

Joanie, Your life has been a gift -- beautiful, painful, surprising, joyful and finally fragile. I shall not forget you and our 46-year friendship.

With a sad heart we acknowledge the passing of not only a long time customer but a friend. I will miss talking with Joan over the phone and seeing her on occasions. I know I speak for my husband when I say she will be sorely missed. God bless Sean and the family as you grieve this great loss but may you seek comfort in the only true Comforter, our Heavenly Father.

Praying for a peace that passes all understanding to surround you and your family over the loss of this strong, tough woman. Joan left a lasting impression on me although we were only in each other's company a hand full of times. That's the impact a woman like Joan left on everyone she met. I use to cal her my lil bulldog...just a little person with a strong spirit and I just admired her so much. She will be deeply missed and she left me memories I'll cherish forever.
