JoAnn was wonderfully pleasant in person and a joy to talk with. We grieve for the hole in the hearts of Joel and Marisa. The memorial service was a nice tribute to JoAnn and a pleasure to attend with so many that loved her. We know she is at peace now with the Lord and that is a comfort.

I am so saddened to hear of Joann's passing.
She was an extraordinary person, always with a smile, always ready give of herself. She loved life and loved her family and friends.

We will miss Jo Ann so much. I have known Jo Ann since we were at St. Charles elementary and then Providence High School. She and Joel were part of our "Big. Chill" group that get together twice a year. Will not be the same without Jo Ann's smiling face. God bless. Penny McQuattie Hill

I know this is such a blow to your family, especially at this time of year. I didn't know Jo Ann but Joel may remember my husband Bill Snaer from Our Lady of the Lake and Sacred Heart choirs. Bill died on November 9, so I know exactly what you are going through. November 21 would have been our 54th anniversary. Your petite, beautiful Jo Ann will never leave the memories of your family. If there is anything comforting, it is that her suffering is over. You are certainly on my prayer list.
