“Words cannot begin to express my sadness of losing a great individual who I first met in June of 2004. Joanne was one of the kindest persons I have ever met in my life. I enjoyed our many conversations over the years. And her trust in me was beyond words. I miss her very much.”

“I just can't express how sad I feel for the loss of a very dear and sweet friend. I had the pleasure to have known and worked with her at the PSPCA Thrift Store for more than 8 years. We had so much fun and laughter. The day that I came in when Joanne was volunteering we teased each other; and had lots of laughs. She had such a carrying heart for animals of every kind. Loved to share her stories and listen to others about their pets. She is now with the Lord; the for ever home.”
