Joni Kalinowski

Joni was a co-worker who immediately became a cherished friend. Joni didn't simply enter a room, she arrived! Not many actually light up the room but she did, with a beauty that started in her heart and she sent out to everyone she met. She was my rock during one of my darkest times and I will always cherish the therapy we shared making my quilt. We are in a dimmer light without you my sweet friend.

I had the pleasure of knowing Joni, about 18 years ago, when she worked in my real estate brokerage. She was always warm, friendly and and fun person to be around. I also remember her late husband, Tim, with fondness. My deepest condolences to Alfred, Brandi and Shadow. May your memories bring you comfort and peace!

You were an incredibly sweet and caring lady who will be missed at Desoto Cares Homeless Services.

Mom,
I miss you. I love you.

Mom. I miss you. I love you.

Joni, I miss you. I love you and always cared about you and what was in your best interest. I know we could butt heads but I think that shows we cared about each other. You made me laugh with all the goofy things you would say or do! You are great material for comedy for sure!!! And as far as mother-in-law´s go, I feel very fortunate to have had you. I love that you would call me weird hours in the morning because you knew I´d be up. I love that you listened to hard rock and heavy metal; I´m super happy we all got to see System of a Down together. My parents never would have gone to such a cool concert. I love that you could laugh at yourself...and at me, with me.

Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with me and thank you for your most wonderful daughter. She brings out the best in me and I know you get that. I will always take good care of her and love her enough for you and Tim.

You will always be a part of our lives. The grandkids miss you very much, we all do. I hope you´re at peace with the love of your life, Tim. May you rest in peace.
