Her laugh was contagious. I hear it now
and it takes me back to a time, when we were young and carefree. I have so many wonderful memories of JoAnne. In those memories your mother lives on in my heart. I am blessed!
My thoughts are with you both. I am very sorry. Your Cousin,Pat Coloney

Dear Todd and Scott,

We want you to know that your mother was a most wonderful person. We loved your family as our neighbors. Your mother worked very hard to give you a home that you can be proud of. She was beautiful to look at and was a kind a beautifully charitable person. She knows you will carry the family name with honor. We hope you remember all of the good things she taught you. We loved her friendliness and her laugh. We are sorry that she had to leave this world at so young an age, but she will be busy on the other side of the veil learning and doing many important things. We hope both of you boys feel at peace and are able to go forward in life building love and hope with your wives and families. Love, Terry and Janet Selin: Schenectady, New York
