Jackie Ritter
There are so many wonderful memories of Joanne, I don't know where to begin. We had met through friends about 17 years ago and I liked her very much, the moment I met her. Her sweet smile, her wonderful laugh and her joy for life still make me smile. Joanne and I had traveled to Florida and New Jersey and New York last year, and I couldn't have asked for a more fun travel companion. Every day was an adventure. Joanne was so beloved by so many, especially everyone in our Sunday Night Group. She lit up the room.
Instead of focusing on the devastation of her loss, I will try to focus on the memories of the joy she brought to everyone. She lived and loved fully and she was loved in return.
Her beautiful family and her dear friends meant the world to her. My prayers are with each one of you and I know that Joanne is dancing with the Angels in Heaven.
