Dear Tom, I just returned to Vancouver from Mexico and found the immensely sad news of Joanne's death.
I can imagine your sorrow and want to send my deepest condolences to you and to your family.
I was very fond of Joanne and very grateful to her for the spontaneous grace and kindness with which she welcomed me in your lives.
Much too young to leave you. But at least not destroyed by a long and hopeless fight. You can remember her as she always was: enthusiastically devoted to life.
A great hug,
Stefania

Dear Tom and family..... my wonderful memories of cousin Joanne prove she certainly did celebrate her life. Love to all.

Joanne showed us such kindness and wisdom just over 11 years ago, when she offered us love and support and help when her riding instructor Catalina was dying of pancreatic cancer. I (Catalina's widow) could never thank Joanne enough and will never forget her compassion.

For years I had listened to Cat express her joy in working with Joanne, and I was then blessed to come to know Joanne personally.

Although I am unable to attend the celebration of Joanne's life, I am with you, Tom and the rest of Joanne's family and friends, as you grieve today and in the coming times. Please accept my support as you start on this difficult journey. Much love to all.

We are sorry for your loss, Tom. Please know we are right nearby.
Mark & Alison

Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. We are missing her wonderful smile and lovely personalities.

I am so sad to hear of Joanne's passing. I was one of her VGH nursing classmates and I have lots of fond memories of our residence days and working together there. I hope the love of family and friends will sustain you thorough this time. Lynda (Egleston) Blackstock

Such sad news. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Tom and family,  my thoughts are with you.  Such a sweet lady.  Lots of good memories of being in England with you so long ago.  Jocelyn Alexander

I am so sorry to hear of Joanne's passing. I remember her and husband Tom as a super friendly couple who spent time with our family, way back in 1972 in England. Fond memories of a lovely woman.

Tom and Shane and the lovely Joanne, I remember you well on Saturna Island with our family way back in the 70's.  Joanne was such a fun person and someone to look up to when I was a young teen.  So sorry for your loss our thoughts are with you. We lost our dad Barry this year and I know the pain is so great. 
Barbara Alexander (daughter of Jocelyn and Barry)

Joanne will live on for me as one of the most down-to-earth, honest and true, warm and caring individuals I have ever had the honour of knowing.  I am very sad and sorry that her dear life was cut short as she gave so much of her positive energy to those she cared for, as a friend, wife, mother and nurse. Horses were counted among her friends, too. I loved Joanne and will treasure all my memories of her. Actually I will love her forever.

I have the fondest memories of many happy days riding together on ponies as kids and later as teenagers in the Cloverdale Rodeo Queen contest and with official duties connected.  Joanne was always a beautiful talented person who could do anything she put her mind to. She will be sorely missed by her family and our hearts are with you.

I will cherish the memory of our rides together and the summer road trips to see Buck, our dreams of one day going to ride in Spain, our talks of family over lunches out... Your enthusiasm, dedication, and thoughtfulness were always so inspiring, Joanne.  I will miss you dearly.

Dear Joanne
We are amongst so many who will miss you greatly. You have made such an impact on our lives and those of so many in our family. Till we meet again, farewell.
