My daughter, Sarah, attended Dorothy Nolan Elementary, with Anthony. They became good friends. Joanne was often at school and we ran into each other at other venues, too. She was friendly, kind, bright and a great mom. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Joanne was my contact for Empty Stocking for the past ten years. She gave me the donations to check and I told her when these were delivered to SCCC for distribution. A lovely, kind person. I am saddened to hear of her passing.

It was a privilege being Joanne's friend; to be someone she cared for and loved. Her heart was a big as the universe. How I will never hear her call me little buddy anymore is unfathomable. My heart is crushed. She is and always will be one of the greats. My deepest condolences to Bill, Bec, Anthony and Julie. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
