Tribute: My acquaintance with Jo-Anne was through Emily, Clancy and Riley; Bernadette once suggested many years ago that Jo-Anne and I had a lot in common as we both suffered with chronic diseases. Jo-Anne and I struck up an internet friendship that was a comfort to us both for many years. There has never been a day go by that I have not prayed for my friend. When things were bad on either end,we would email flowers and messages of comfort and encouragement; when they were good, we rejoiced together. I am so glad Jo-Anne will no longer suffer, but I will miss my friend and her family will miss her guidance and concern, love and selfless devotion. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and perpetual light shine upon her. May she, and all the souls of the departed, rest in peace. Heather and John Mandar (Hogan)

We are and will be continued to be amazed by her zest for life and her strength in living and loving us all ..by living decades more than we all expected…and we have all been amazed by her strength and love for others. Jo-Anne you are am inspiration of how to live life fully… Your cousins, Darlene & Diana
