Nick,
We just learned of Joanne's passing, and we cannot express the deep sorrow we feel for you and the entire extended Nigro family. Joanne was an angel on earth and such an important part of all of us in the Kraemer clan. Our prayers are with you.
Love,

To All The Nigro Family
We were away for the month of February and upon returning home we were saddened to hear of your loss.
It was so nice to see you at the St. B.'s Anniversary and certainly didn't expect it would be the last time that we would see Joan. She was as we always remembered her, smiling, laughing, and enjoying everyone and everything.
We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.
John and Mary Keliher

Gee Gee and Family, my sympathy and prayers go out to you. Your mom was really great - such an inspiration. She provided so many people with so many wonderful memories. I will always remember how lovely St. B's church looked at our wedding, despite the orange carpeting. Also, I also think of your mom at Christmas when I hear "Mary's Boy Child". I loved to hear her sing that at midnight mass every year.

Joanne will be sorely missed. I enjoyed singing for events and at nursing homes with her. We made a great trio, she and Mary Doyle and I. I will always think of her when I hear "Silver Bells", especially. And when I place each one of the many handmade ornaments she gave to each of the choir members every Xmas on my tree. My heart goes out to all of you in the family. She will leave a big hole in your lives!

Joanne was my "Dear" and "beloved" sister. She is the "STAR" THAT IS SHINNING "BRIGHT" in the sky.. So, if you look up and see that shinning star, you know it is OUR JOANNE.. She will be looking down upon us and guiding us to whatever our needs.. Remember, she also has my MOM and DAD and Nick's Mom and Dad. How great is that.. And we all know she is sitting right next to "OUR GOD".. She was very special and there will never be another "JOANNE”. She has touched MANY lives and made many people smile.. Thank God, she is out of the pain that crippled her body and through it all she always had a smile on her face and never complained. We have many, many memories that will carry us for our life time.. She will be greatly missed by everyone that touched her life and especially her family who loved her very much. Thank you for the memories. God Bless You, and we will miss you.. Love Tom, Kathi, Mary Sue and Jon

Dear Nick (Sr.) and Family,
I can't even begin to tell you how my heart aches at hearing of Joanne's passing. I was baby-sitting my granddaughter when Mike called and broke the news to me. Joanne was the most beautiful person I have ever known and as was written in the notice, she saw only the good in people. She also endured so much physical pain on this earth because of her back yet she seemed to bear it with grace and dignity. I know that God has a special place for her in heaven. The love she had for you Nick and the kids no words can express.
There is no doubt that she will be missed.
Mike and I can't be there today, but please know that our hearts, prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Dear Nigro family,
I am so sorry to hear of Joanne's passing. She was a big part of my teen years when I was hanging out at the Nigro house with Amy. One of my fond memories was of her working on the scenery for the St. B's musicals. She seemed to love it as much as we loved having her. Her house was always filled with music. She was always singing or humming a song. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. She was the heart and soul of your family. I can only imagine how difficult this is for all of you.

Dear Nigro family;
I was so sorry to hear of the death of Joanne. Have many fond memories of singing with her in high school and Jr. college. She always had a big smile and a "cheery" hello when she would see you.

Dear Nigro Family,
Although you are sad for your loss, just think of what heaven has gained! Your wife/mom will be organizing and making all things beautiful in no time. Jesus took an angel home and He made the promise that you will see her again.
During the sad times of here on earth and now, remember that you are being held in His loving arms, He is giving you peace and comfort. And the music you are hearing, is Mom singing her heart out, letting you know she is where she should be.
Rely on each other, rely on your friends, and always rely on God.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs and Tugs

Joanne will forever be a part of my memories of St. B's.Her faithful involvement in Choir--great voice, perpetual president and social director--and her beatiful work on the environment committee. It was a pleasure working with her all these years. She touched many lives.

We had the pleasure of knowing Joanne from spending time at the Geiser's various family birthdays and events. She was always very interested in everything that was going on and just loved her grandchildren! We will remember her with fond memories and know that she is resting peacefully. Our deepest sympathy to the Nigro (Geiser) families.

I am sorry for your loss. Mrs Nigro touched my life and my families life in such a wonderful manner. Just going over to the Nigro house and hearing her sing was amazing. She carried that over to St Bernadette's for all of us to enjoy her beautiful voice and warm heart. My thoughts and prayers will go out to Amy and the entire family.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you celebrate Joanne's life. Her musical talents were a special gift to us at our wedding, and to many others over the years. I will never hear "Here Comes Santa Claus" without thinking of her. We live in a better world because of Joanne.
