Condolence: My sincere condolences to Joanne's family. I felt privileged to have met Joanne through hockey. It was always a pleasure to talk to her. She was always full of encouragement and had a great sense of humour. It was also always a challenge to play against her hockey team when she was in net. May all the good memories of Joanne help you through this sad period.

Condolence: Many good memories and fun times come back to me when I think of Joanne and our friendship when we were teens back in the day on Saratoga Drive. May the love of family and friends comfort you in these difficult days, my most sincere condolences.

Condolence: Jo loved life on the ice and off. Even with all of the hardships she endured, you could always count on Jo to have your back. I'm sure I scored on her more times than I care to remember (I was her defenceman) but we always had a good laugh about it. Jo also shared lots of helpful advice when I became a new mom and loved to share stories about her kids and grandson up in the bar after the game. Thanks for the great memories Jo.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Condolence: It is terrible to hear about this sudden loss of Joanne. My sincere sympathy to the family.

Condolence: I am so SORRY to hear of your mothers passing. She touches so many hearts. You are in my prayers. Hugs to Aidan. Thinking of All of you in the sorrowful time.

Condolence: My condolences to the family. "Jo" was such and kind and gentle person. I remember one year our team "Action" went on a trip and she asked me to go fishing with her, I will always remember our quiet time on the banks of some river up north. And to this day I have my fishing licence that I had to buy! I made her sign it and date it and I still have that licence as it was such a event. Jo was a great person and I was blessed that our paths crossed. Janet Calderone

Condolence: Such a shame that a life is taken so early. My deepest sympathies to the whole family.

Condolence: My condolences to your family on losing Joanne. Although I only knew Joanne for a single year, anyone who she considered a friend will know this - if she became your friend, she meant it, in the purest sense. Joanne, although so many of us are saddened by your leaving too soon, I hope you are at peace, free from pain, and smiling down on us all.

Condolence: My sincere condolences go out to Joanne’s family . I met Jo after I to had the same brain injury. We spoke many times and I got to meet her. She left me with a few of her bracelets which I will hold very dear. Jo you were taken away to soon. You had so much more to offer on this earth. Now your a beautiful angel. Look over us all in the days and weeks ahead during this difficult time. You will be missed by many. XO

Condolence: When Anna and I were at our trailer the first year, a huge storm hit. At the time, we didn't know we needed to put one side of the awning down. It wasn't long until I heard someone at my door asking if Anna and I were okay. It was my friend Joanne. She was the first to welcome us and the first to make sure all was well with us. I also make sure to close the windows above the propane tanks after her telling me the story of a raccoon trying to get in at the same spot at her trailer. I will always think of Joanne every time I close that window. We have so many good memories of music, movies and laughter that we will hold dear to our hearts.

Condolence: Words fail me, our thoughts and prayers are with you....So sorry..

Condolence: Thoughts and prayers from our family to yours during this difficult time. May your cherished memories bring you comfort now and forever. Joanne, I will carry with me your love and light.
