I met this lovely lady while working at the Curling Club a number of years ago. I did not know her for very long but I will remember her sweetness forever. She wrote me a special poem and really touched my heart. I think she had that way about her.

The time we spent with Joanne was full of laughter and fun. Her sassy remarks always kept us guessing and I loved every minute of it. She was a bright light to her family and friends and will be missed dearly.

My connection to this beautiful lady is through Lisa, Tina & Linda Hoskin. You made our world beautiful by simply being you. I pledge to help take care of the garden you planted, as a memorial tribute to you. May you rest in peace, "Aunt" Joanne. Condolences to the Hoskin family, with love from the Davy family.

Joanne will be dearly missed for many reasons. She was a straight up, down to earth person with a unique sense of humour. I am happy to have been a part of her journey here and am glad she is now at peace.

Hi Josh and LeeAnn,
Sure is sad to hear the news of your mother's passing. It's a very sad time indeed - but thanks to Jesus we have a future hope and that we will meet again and be reunited with loved ones. Not believing that would be the saddest thing of all. Thanks be to God - he is our hope praise his name. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

My dear Aunt Joanne was my Mom's youngest sister, and to me more like a big sister. We so enjoyed time together, and had great fun with the "aunt, niece" relationship. Our hearts are broken. Rest so very peacefully, Joanne.
