Not sure what to say?

I miss you so much.

What an amazing and wonderful person and veterinarian. RIP JoAnne. You will be dearly missed.

Dr. Blaha was an angel on earth and will be sorely missed. She had healing powers that she didn't even know she had. When my dogs were sick I would ask her to come out and touch them so I would know they would be ok. When our shitzu was diagnosed with a brain tumor by a brain surgeon and we were told to say our good bys , dr. Blaha told me not to worry, she's not going anywhere on her watch and our baby lived 10 happy years after she touched her with her spiritual healing power and a little...

Dr. Blaha took care of my cats in my home for over 10 years. One cat was so temperamental, three other vets wouldn't treat him, but Dr. Blaha didn't mind a bit that her arms would be all scratched up after Shadow's exam!! She actually got a kick out of him and during his last months, tried everything she could think of to help him.
I've had cats for over 40 years, tried several different vets and Dr. Blaha was by far the best vet I've ever encountered, not only for her excellent...

I just found out that Dr Blaha passed away. I am so sorry! Joanne and I attended high school together and reunited when she became a Veterinarian. She was a warm, kind, smart, determined woman! She was my Vet for many years. She also served at many Animal rescues over the years. She was very proud to help with the care of animals for homebound and assisted living facilities. She was an angel to all those people and their animals that needed care. Joanne you were one special lady!!

Today I found out that Dr. Blaha passed away. Words can't describe the heaviness I feel. Dr. Blaha was truly an Angel on Earth and I feel so lucky to have known her. Dr. Blaha cared for our cats in such a caring and compassionate manner throughout the years. She always went above and beyond to ensure the best treatments for all our cats, but especially our cats with special needs. She made sure we understood the treatments and helped us feel confident in what we needed to do to provide the...

I just tried to contact Dr. Blaha to see if she could help me with my cat that she took care of when I adopted her. She was a wonderful Vet I will miss you so much I’m sorry to see that she has passed away RIP

She treated our dogs in our home several times, helped us say goodbye to a best friend, and gave us solace. She was a wonderful person, the best kind of person.

Jo Anne made veterinary house calls, I was fortunate to meet her this way. She was an ardent and compassionate vet. It was because of her teachings that I first learned of holistic animal care & health. I’m sorry for the loss, but grateful to have known such a wonderful human being.
