We both had two wonderful boys, we both lost one of our boys, yet even though we were apart for the rest of our lives, we stayed close. I am so thankful for the friendship and love that we were given. God Bless my friend. My deepest sympathy to her family. May the many memories of their life with her bring a smile and joy and give them peace.

  5. I am so sorry for your loss. Joanne was a wonderful lady. My sister and I came to know Joanne through Traiteurville stables. She was so kind and helpful to us. Joanne had an amazing knack for putting humor and honesty together, so even if it was something you might not want to hear, she could make you laugh about it regardless! She had a infectious smile and never knew a stranger. It was a blessing and an honor to have known her. May she rest in peace. God bless you all! I will keep you in my prayers through this very difficult time.
