Dear Pete,
Words cannot express the depth of our sorrow, for the loss of your beautiful wife Joanne. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Jarrett,  through this difficult time.  
 Love and sympathy,
 
Chris, Kim, Megan and Jason Prevatt

What a beautiful woman you always were; inside and out. Those pretty blue eyes that sparkled when you smiled. And a smile was always on your face, no matter what you were going through, with all of the medical treatments you endured for so many years. 
I can still remember the first time I met you after a karate event as we sat and talked during dinner and drinks with a group, which included our sons,. You were so easy to talk to and get to know. From then on, I looked forward to seeing you at each Region 21 event, where you worked tirelessly. 
I'm so glad Nick and Jarrett are friends, because through Jarrett, we still have you. 
You will be missed and always remembered Joanne Manzi

Albert Schweitzer said, "The purpose of human life is to serve”. That is exactly how Joanne was, she was a giver and served those she loved well. She was a lovely friend who will be missed dearly. Sending our love and condolences to Pete, Jarrett, Courtney and to Joanne’s extended family. 

Love, Cleta & Alfred Greenwood

I don’t think she ever knew how many lives she touched with her kindness and beautiful smile.There were a few Girl Scout trips we wouldn’t have made it through without her .My deepest sympathies to you all.

Pete and Jarrett my deepest condolences from the Rivera family. It was a privilege to have shared so many memories with Joanne, Pete and Jarrett.  She will forever be in our hearts and may God have a special Fenway park for her in heaven.  

I was going to text you . . .

It's not possible
that you are not here
"it's not acceptable"
are your words I would hear.

Jarrett, the Patriots, the pearls that you wear
friendship and family for forty plus year
Your death was forthcoming
and I fought to prepare.
You're no longer with us
and that's not fair.

I was going to text you
but remembered your not there.

I will miss you forever . . .  my "sister". . .  my friend,
Nancy "B"
