Our hearts are saddened by Joan's passing on. She was a remarkable, positive neighbor with always a smile on her face.Her memorial service was a great tribute to her life with comforting words, song and music.
Our prayers are for Milenko, Bettina and family that they will always remember her and think of her as being in God's hands.

How do you thank someone for laughter, love and joy? Aunt Joanie brought them all with her where ever she went. She turned rainy days to sunshine and always made the seemingly impossible, possible. She gave Nikki an appreciation for art and music and encouraged her exploration of both. Her ability to embrace all that life had to offer and share that experience taught us both. We'll miss her so much.

Joanie was my dear friend and mentor.I had the priviledge of her friendship for 27 years and have so many happy memories throughout those years. Her sudden passing has devastated her family and close friends but her lagacy will live on in our memories and all that we have learned from her. Joanie will surely be missed.
