We are so very sorry to hear of Joanne's passing. Although we only knew her from seeing and talking with her for so many years at Joe Tecce's, we always felt as friends. I can still see her smiling face every time we entered. R.I.P.

I have a warm memory from St. Ann's of Joanne's kindness, in the person of a girl always with rosy red cheeks and a big smile. It gets harder on everyone as we lose good people. Our entire St. Ann's Class of '64 is devastated by this loss.

Joanne and I were classmates in elementary school at St. Ann's, Neponset. Joanne was very sweet, kind and thoughtful. When we reconnected at a class reunion ten years ago, she still had that twinkle in her eye! I was so sad to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family and friends.
