Dear Denise, sweet daughter of Joanne, my Dear friend. My deepest condolences to you during this very sad, difficult time. I have many fond memories of Joanne, your loving Mother, my fun, full of life friend, who had the joie de vivre we all should have. If we all lived life as she did, we would all be better off! My dear beautiful, stylish, gorgeous, sensitive, kind friend is gone, but she is up there with the Angels, her loving husband Jim, who she missed so badly, and with her dear parents. Joanne, Mon Ami, Lily, the world will never be the same without you! I love you and treasure our friendship forever. RIP my beautiful friend!

So sorry about your mom. She was as great friend to everyone. Loved to have fun and was always laughing and always enjoyed life to it's fullest. She will be missed.
Joanne was so vibrant. She got so excited each time she rode in my Tesla. I know she and Jim went through a tough time when he was going to the Cancer Centers, and she subsequently missed him very much. Her little dog, Joy, was a comfort to her. My most sincere sympathy to her family.
I miss you dear Joanne...I know you are with your dear Jim. Rest In Peace dear one. Much love to your family.
I posted my response on Face Book but want to do a reach out to the family here, too. Joanne was so sweet, quiet but had a good sense of humor, and interesting to talk with. I am shocked!
With deepest sympathy. May she Rest In Peace.
Please accept our deepest sympathy. Joanne was a dear neighbor.
To the families of Joanne & Jim Wilson, We are so very sorry for your loss and we will truly miss our wonderful neighbors. Please accept our deepest condolences. -Jim & Mary Jane Farnsworth
