Hi Joey and family - we are saddened by your loss - our deepest condolences. ❤️
The Galanis family.

Words cannot express the shock and sorrow felt when news came of Joanne's sudden passing.  My deepest condolences to the Russo family.  Joanne was a bright light.  She was such a loving, caring, funny, and thoughtful soul with a zest for life.  She loved being surrounded by family and friends and loved music and dancing.  I will never forget the time we spent dancing and singing to Olivia Newton John.  She certainly loved music.
She may not be here in body, but she will live on, forever in our hearts and fond memories.  With love...Tina, Bill, and Family

To the Russo family,

I was heartbroken to hear about Joanne's passing. I had the privilege of spending years with Joanne at Meta Centre. I have so many fond memories with Joanne - most of which include us joking or laughing together.  She always had a warm smile that could brighten any room.  I will miss Joanne deeply as will her Meta family. 
Joanne, you will often be in my thoughts and forever in my heart. May you rest in eternal peace.

It was so very sad to hear of Giovanna's sudden passing! She will be greatly missed by all of those who loved her. Giovanna was always smiling and such an affectionate person! The world will be a sadder place without her!

 

When I think of Giovanna, I automatically hear her inquisitive questions and hearty infectious laughter that gravitated the room to another level. She new how to have a good time, showing off her dance moves, cracking jokes, travelling, swimming and  having a great skill of being an expert foodie.  She only found good in those who were lucky enough to share her company. She was the “glass half full” kind of woman. Negativity just repelled from her and only radiated purity. She savoured the moment and found pleasure no matter what situation she faced. A toast to you Giovanna. A part of you will be part of us. Until we meet again. Cin  Cin . Mike and Maryanne Priore

Joanne's love of art was always displayed with pride

To the Russo Family, my deepest condolences to you all. 
I have known Joanne for over 30 years during her time spent with her Meta family. She will be remembered for her smiles and always ready to join in dancing and having a good time.  Her personality was infectious and she was always ready to try anything.  She will be sadly missed by all her friends and staff at Meta Centre.
May she rest in peace.

Although Joanne has passed so abruptly & unexpectedly,  she did  leave such a positive impression - with her kind, caring , happy/positive & loving nature- her sense of humor was so "quirky"  & infectious.   She was such a beautiful person & soul.  Although her loss has left a path of pain & sorrow,  please take comfort in knowing that her last few days on earth, she was so happy, surrounded by some of her family, spending quality time together, surrounded by love & what really matters in life.   We feel blessed for getting to know her.
