Not sure what to say?





I was saddened to hear of Joanne's passing. I went to school with her and have seen her a couple of times a year since then. I always enjoyed catching up with her. You have my deepest sympathy.

At our recent class reunion, Sonoma students remembered the fun and laughs we had. Joanne, you will always be remembered for your caring personality. Heaven has gained a new angel.

Both Bill and I were so sad to read of Joanne passing. She is so young and will be missed by her family, but now the family will have an angel watching over them. We pray that you are able to realize there is a reason for the Lord calling her home. Mary Jane and Ken were friends of Bill and I and Joanne was the little sister always around when she could be. She had a great personality and will be remembered by many. God Bless the entire family.

The world is a darker, sadder and less lyrical place without Joanne. She had the voice of an angel as did her mother and her daughter. She was always a good friend and a wonderful neighbor. We will all miss her kindness. So now, God has one more angel for his choir. The Guy Family
