My deepest sympathy for JoAnn's family. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her at the courthouse. We had many great conversations about our similar background and experiences. I will miss her very very much!!

JoAnn was one of the kindest and intelligent people I have ever known. She was always there to answer any questions and did so with a smile on her face. Her job could be complicated, but she never complained. I can't believe she is gone. However, she left so many wonderful memories. I'm a better person for having known her.

My grandmother was a brave woman who live a life full of adventure. She never stopped learning and achieving new goals in life! I have missed her smile and laugh for many years. We are a family of few words but we feel the loss all the same.

A loving spirit was her way, kind and gentle. So thankful for the blessing of your friendship in my life. We worked together for a time and also shared a love of baseball... she smiled when I joked that she made it easy to look past the fact that she was a Yankees fan. JoAnn was wonderful. May God bless you and keep you, my friend.

To the Gould Family, Please accept my deepest Sympathy. Your loved one was my Work Friend; we shared stories and often texted words of encouragement. My last text with JoAnn was a heartfelt one. I will miss JoAnn and her smile. It´s hard to bear the loss of someone so dear, but it´s important to remember all the beautiful moments you shared.

Robert,
We are so sad to hear of JoAnn's passing. We didn't realize she was sick until Jack talked with you the other day. Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family as you cherish good memories and rest knowing that she suffers no more. May God bless you as you grieve. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
