Dear Mr. Stavinsky and family,

It was quite a shock to read, this past Thurday, 5th, and try to grasp, that you wife, JoAnn had died. She was my materials teacher, about two years ago, at RISD/CE. What a time we had!...she was so knowledgeable and willing to teach whatever it was that she knew. She was so unassuming, and easy to approach and so very easy to talk with. I found myself rushing to get to her class to get a front seat.
One day, She was wearing an article of clothing,...

Dear Larry,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved wife JoAnn. My thoughts prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time.

Sincerely,

I will miss JoAnn so very much... some of my best memories are the times when she, Larry, and Stephanie would come visit at the farm and we would have "thanksgiving in august/september/october" with the family.

JoAnn... I do love you!

and the same to Larry and Stephanie!

I was saddened to learn of Joann's illness and death and pray that your family and friends will stand by you in your grief. You have lost a woman of great character and skill. Joann was my Materials teacher at RISD two years ago. I thrived on her style of reservedly passionate teaching; she imparted not only the basic properties of materials but joyfully included her personal experiences and opinions in having worked with them. Joann was a superior teacher and I thought you'd like to...

Joann touched so many different people's lives in so many ways . Are hearts will weep but our souls know that she is at peace.The special things she shared with everyone she touched will live on in our hearts,and she will watch over us forever from above.

I was very sorry to hear of Joann's
passing. I worked with her at RISD/CE.
She was a very caring person and a wonderful teacher. She will be missed by all at RISD.
