I was shocked and greatly saddened when I received this link through the horticultural email! I look forward to catching up with Joanne every Xmas time for the Salmon River Xmas Bird Count. She was such a warm & kind woman. I feel fortunate to have known her & feel so sad for her family. I can only imagine what a wonderful mom she was. I hope happy memories keep you strong.

Dear Faye, Carol and Cynthia,
Your mother was one of the kindest and most generous and patient women I've known. I loved her zest for life, her love of nature and her sense of humor. I imagine her among her beloved birds and plants, peaceful. My deepest condolences to you.
