I was so sorry to hear of your mother's death. When I opened the Herald, I knew she was your mother. You two look so much alike. It sounds like she had a wonderful long life, but you have lost someone who was a big part of your life. My heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers. I know she will watch over you till you meet again.

Joanne,

I am deeply saddened to read of your mother's passing. You may remember me from my time as an office planning consultant with then CRHA (AHS). More importantly,you may remember, that for many years, my wife and daughter and I, would meet you and your mother every December, as we were at the Hyatt hotel for Christmas Day dinner. As our tradition progressed, I found myself always looking for both of you,and for our yearly conversation, always with a smile. When this last Christmas, we were unable to be at the hotel for dinner,the first thing that came to mind,was missing both of you. I know that your mother will always be with you and that she will be in your heart forever. Peace. Chris Bain

Hello Joanne,

My condolences - so many times our paths would cross, you and your mom, at the opera, at the theatre, at the mall. May your memories enrich and sustain you. I met your father as well when I first started working quite a while back. Sending love and prayers.

May God Bless you, Joanne, in these trying times. I remember Joyce and George from before we were married.

They were a wonderful couple from OLPH, St Joseph's to Corpus Christie.

Wherever George was, Joyce was there too. You went to school with my kids: Deanna, Paul, Darren and Randy Blasetti.

Our prayers are with you and remember that your Mom and Dad are home together now.

May the Good Lord keep you healthy and happy even with your great loss.

Ciao,

Guy Blasetti and Family.

Dear Joanne my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear Mother. I loved seeing you both over the years as we bumped into each other shopping and I know you both had such a special bond of friendship and love. Your Mom was so beautiful inside and out and was so elegant and gracious. Hold your wonderful memories close to your heart...she will always be with you.❤️Carol Ryder

Dear Joanne, we are all thankful to have been part of your family's history and to have been able to

be a participant in Joyce's unceasing attention to you and George as an anchor in the sea of life. We

would like to thank you for keeping us informed about your Mom and hope that her light will find George.

We send you our love and warmest thoughts at this time. We hold you close...with affection...Vukovich Family

My deepest condolences to you, Joanne, on the loss of your mother. I remember her from when you and I were in Corpus Christi School together. To me, you and she were a beautiful daughter and mother who set high standards for knowledge and demeanour and friendship. In later years when my mother and I would see you two around Calgary, we always remarked how close you and she remained. I lost my mother last year and feel as if I have been floundering without my best friend but it also reminds me what a wonderful mother-daughter relationship she and I had. In the coming weeks and months you will think of something to tell your mom before you catch yourself or avoid doing things the two of you used to enjoy because it would not be the same without her. I am sure you will find comfort in the memories of your mother you have gathered over the years. Cherish them and let them comfort you.

Linda (Johnston) Silvius

Joanne, Roland and I offer our heartfelt condolences. We will always cherish the memories of our many nights of dinner and theatre with you and Joyce. She was a truly remarkable woman who will be missed by so many.

Dear Joanne, my deepest condolences at this very difficult time. I will always remember your mother at the flamenco shows she attended and her enthusiasm, and her positive and happy disposition. Your mother had such a youthful spirit that allowed her to be welcome in any crowd she chose, whether it be young or old, and I know that her presence will be missed by many. She was truly a classy and special lady. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Joanne, I am so sorry to hear of the death of your mother Joyce. My best memories of your mom are many years ago as friends at the age of eight. I have a distinct recollection of making pulled toffee and the fun we had. I’m sorry I did not know her later on but you have described her beautifully. It’s a great loss, but aren’t you lucky to have had her so long. My thoughts and prayers, Susan Cush

Sincere condolences JoAnne, on the loss of your Mom. I just read the beautiful tribute. She was truly an amazing woman. Kerry spoke of her often, so I was glad to meet her that day in Nordstroms.

Best,

Michelle Dertell

Beautiful tribute to a classy lady.

I am blessed to have shared memorable moments and laughs with her and have had the opportunity to enjoy her wit and sense of humor.

We shared precious moments, operas and flamenco shows together. I was an avid listener to her life stores and could listen to her for hours.

I will treasure those forever.

Rosario Aceituno

An amazingly well crafted tribute to your Mom. I'm very pleased to have been able to meet her at various cultural events. Cariños

I am so very sorry for your loss Joanne!

In my mind, your mom defined charisma, and I had huge respect for her during my years in Calgary.

RIP Mrs. STALINSKI

This is a beautiful tribute to an extraordinary lady. I am grateful to have met her and feel her presence in my life through Joanne. My deepest sympathy to Joanne and Joyce’s family.
