I cherish so many memories of Joanne. We moved here when I was just five and she was a very first friend and remained in our lives all this time. She and my sister bev were inseparable!..we all rolled down the park hill together, put buttercups under each other’s chin and truly believed we tasted honey in all those honeysuckles we picked in the back yard!!!.. a lifetime of memories and that will always be with me and part of me. She has raised a beautiful family and my heart goes out to each one of them. I believe Joanne may have found bev by now, up in heaven, and they are perhaps putting buttercups under each other’s chins once more💖💖 all my love and prayers to her family.

I loved Joanne like a sister. I moved in two doors up from her when I was only 5 or 6 years old. My sisters Sharon, Bev and I shared so many great times wit Joanne. I remember all four of us climbing the Granny Smith apple tree so many times and sitting on branches eating apples until we we so full or got caught and jumped down and ran! We had a lot of fun! We played house in our play house in our back yard and sand songs together like we were the only ones on the planet! We climbed the park trees endlessly! Joanne was a forever life long friend and I am certain she and our sister Bev are dancing and singing up in heaven together now. I will cherish all of my dear memories of her and keep her sweet family, which she truly loved with all of her heart, in my thoughts and prayers. I love all of you and I am so very sorry for your great loss. My deepest condolences. 💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
