Just found out today of your passing....
I really didn't know you well Joanne but felt
very sad of the news of your passing.
You always seemed very up beat and positive.
You seemed to have a great personality I only
wish now that I knew you better- sorry dear
friend.
May you have eternal peace.

You passed from this earth on Oct. 6th last year, but your presence still graces us every day. I treasure our many moments together. I especially think of you on the weekends – remembering our frequent Sunday morning hikes. Nature’s abundant beauty always made you happy.
Per your wishes, your ashes have been scattered in lovely places in the Bay Area. This past Sunday, I visited one of these places, thinking how you would appreciate its vistas of the Bay close-up and San Francisco in the distance.
Rest in eternal peace and beauty, Joanne.

Joanne, I think of you everyday and miss you lots. You would be very happy to know how many times this year I have spoken about you and our great times together.

A smile that spanned more than half a century. Like the Cheshire Cat, your smile persists in our hearts though you have moved on.

Remembering our dear friend Joanne. Here she is on Tiburon open space, so dear to her, in April 2020. You would not know we were at the beginning of the pandemic and she had great health challenges. I am inspired everyday by our time together and meeting you all through Joanne. I hope everyone is well, with Thanks, Jennifer

Joanne. Voulant te souhaiter ton anniversaire, je m etonnnais de ton silence et je viens de réaliser la terrible nouvelle. Ton sourire, ton optimisme et ta joie de vivre ainsi que ton amitié profonde me manquent déjà. Nous avions prévu de nous revoir en Europe pour parler du passé, du présent et de nos beaux projets à venir. Repose en paix et continue où que tu sois à rêver et voyager et transmettre ta joie de vivre. Je t embrasse. Ton amie Hélène.

There comes a morning unto which we won’t awaken, but are remembered by the things we graced. You, Joanne, are abundantly well remembered!
Rest ye now, a Life well Lived.

Joanne - I am so sorry to hear this news. You have been and will be in my thoughts often. I'm so glad I had a chance to visit with you in the last couple years at your lovely home in Marin as well as having dinner in Davis. And I've been so frustrated the pandemic has prevented me from making another visit. Sending you lots of love and wishing you great comfort and peace.

Dear Joanne, I just heard through the LGHS grapevine of your situation. I'm so sorry I won't get to see you again. Whether at Temple Emmanuel, at LGHS, or here in Paris , I always admired your " get up and go", optimism, and intelligence. Always ready and courageous, never backing down , and a good friend! I wish you kindness and the easiest of passings!
It was wonderful to know you, Joanne !!! love, Chira

Dearest Joanne,
I had hoped to visit you this week before I left and heard from Pat that it doesn’t make sense so sending this message. Joanne, it has been such a pleasure to know you all these 25 plus years. You’ve been a wonderful friend and colleague and you’ve touched a lot of lives including mine in such a positive way. We’ve worked on so many interesting projects together both before and after Andersen, and I’m so glad we stayed in touch and our friendship continued to deepen. Can you believe you and I almost got into the shoelace business together? I will always remember our lunches in Sausalito where we talked about our dreams and I have valued your advice, empathy, sense of humor and your quest for the perfect pair of black pants. In one of our last meetings we started to discuss spirituality and you shared that you’ve been involved on that plane for many years. Even though we can’t stand to see you go, I’m glad that your pain will be coming to an end and that you can enter your next chapter in peace and grace. Once you get there, if anyone can figure out how to communicate with us what it’s like, you can and I hope you will. If not, I look forward to seeing you again when I get there!
Love,
Jim Lussier
