Joannie-Mae and I worked together for many years. She must be hanging out with Harry and Molly now. Someone once said that you're never really gone as long as someone remembers you. Dowager, I'll always remember you.

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news that Jo-Anne had passed away. We worked together for many year's at Whiting. After we both retired, we spend lots of time chatting on the phone, by e-mail and when time permitted, over lunch. Her love for animals, especially her beloved horse Molly, was exceptional. With God's grace, I hope that she is once again reunited with Molly and her dog Harry. She will be missed.

I am so sorry for your tragic loss. I never met Jo-Anne in person but did speak with her on the phone when she called CEC regarding Molly a few times. I admired her love and devotion to Molly. She will be missed by all. May your memories bring you great comfort in this time of sorrow.
