Dear Eugene and Amy, I recently found out about Joanne´s passing. Ron and I are so sorry. Joanne was a wonderful and lovely woman. Remember the fun times that we shared as newlyweds at Colonial Estates. Years later when you attended one of our Marriage Encounters weekend in Pittsfield. She will be missed. Sending lots of prayers. Ron and Susan Wyzik

Dear Eugene and family I am so sorry to learn of Joanne's passing she was such a warm, friendly fun loving person. I will miss her visits (and great stories) to my salon. Joanne should have been an author she made us laugh and entertained us with her adventurous life stories . May she rest in peace.

I had the distinct pleasure in working with Joanne for a couple of years in collaboration with her agency and our campus of Springfield Technical Community College. Joanne possessed qualities that many of us will never master: patience, non-judgment, humor-at-the-toughest-hour. She radiated warmth with folks who many would never think to acknowledge. She was a mentor for many, and we are grateful in knowing her. She will be missed. *Elisabeth Cantor*
