My deepest condolences for Jo Ann's passing. I remember her very fondly - she and Tommy had a summer place next door to us which they converted into a beautiful year-round home. She will be missed.

Melody & Stacey, "Pro" as they called John & myself, Donna, go became friends with your parents, way before you girls were born, as John & Tom worked the P.O. together. In the early years we got together a lot for parties & dances, and we spent lovely, fun times together. Then life, elderly parents & work kept us all too busy to spend much time together, but, JoAnn was a lifetime friend. One whom when we did talk or see each other that we shared such joyful memories that we would hug, laugh & pick right back up where we left off. We knew each other were around if needed, she was a true friend, never to be forgotten & we loved her & can still see her smile & hear her distinct & cute laugh. There isn't a prouder Mom or Grammy anywhere. So sad for her passing & a reminder to reach out & make the time for those whom were truly a joy & blessing in your life. God bless you girls through this everlasting difficult time & remember Pro & Donna are here with a understanding ear & heart as we know this great loss of Mothers. Hugs awaiting! Love, John & Donna Provenzano, Jr.

Stacy and Melody: First I'd like to say how sad I am to hear of your mother's passing. I work with Eileen and feel I knew your mom and her wonderful daughters. Eileen talked so often of her sister Joey and all the girls. Her sadness is very strong today. But I know with each others support you will all go on with all the memories that you all have.

Mel and Stacey, your love for Joey was so deep. I could always feel it in your postings. You girls are amazing. Your managed, somehow, to make her passing acceptable. I am so lucky for having had Joey as a sister. She gave me two of the most amazing nieces in the world. I am proud to be your aunt. Aunt Eileen
