Today is the day you gather together for the love you have for JoAnn. I have never met her but all I've heard about her makes me think she must be a great lady. I say this all in present tense as if she is still alive because I believe she will live forever in your hearts.
Bec,I know she must be a great lady for you to feel the way you do about her. I have always admired the love your family has had for each other. God bless you all

A sister by birth indeed, but best friend you will always be. By my side to lend a hand and always there to take a stand. With you always there to listen and care, and always willing to share. I'm filled with all the memories throughout the years and sometimes it's hard to hold back the tears. You made me laugh and made me cry and for that I don't ask why, just thank you for being you and I Love You.
Love Your Sis,
Mary

To Don & Family
I am so sorry to hear about Joann. Joann was one of those person that once you meet them you never forget them. What I always remember about Joann was her hospitatility when you come to visit her. She always made you feel at home and was always there when you needed her with that great smile she always had. The world has lost a very nice lady in Joann. She will be miss by all her friends and family. Oh, I almost forget. I will also miss her fantastic Taco Salad Joann alway made on the holidays. It was the best.

John, Bec and the Dill Family, We are so sorry about the passing of your much loved mother and wife. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I found this verse and hope you find some strength in it."SHE IS ONLY AWAY" She is only away- in your thoughts and your heart you are always together, never apart; In your sorrow, remember- she's only away... though she may not be with you the memories stay... ...and in time, when the hurt isn't too much to bear, whenever you look in your heart she'll be there.

I am sad to see that Joann had passed away. We went to St Boniface school together. We were best friends and were at each others house all the time. My husband and I were at your wedding. So sorry that I haven't seen her for so long. We have lived in St Augustine, Florida for 29 years. I loved her dearly.
Don, our prayers are with you and all of your family .

To the Dill Family
Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.
