God bless Joanne, her loving husband, dear family and friends. Although we can no longer touch her, our lives have been touched by her in so many ways through the years. Friends since grade school, I will now hold a little closer my fond memories of the many good times I've spent with her. In deepest heartfelt sympathy, sending love...

Dear John, my memories of Joanne go back even farther than yours - I have a picture of us at 2 years old. She was always there for me during our growing up years. We were bridesmaids for each other's weddings - sadly, the busyness of family and life allowed us to drift apart. I'm so glad we reconnected in the last few years. She will be missed by so many - Russ and I are lifting frequent prayers for you and family. Linda

I am so sorry to hear that Joanne has left us all, She will surely be missed by all who knew her, but it's a comfort to know she won't be in pain and she'll be at peace. I knew her for 30 plus years, she was a joy to know. Such a strong willed person and she gave it her all to the end. God Bless you all and prayers are being sent up to her.

Dear John,
Although I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for you, I hope you remember how much fun we all had at the 50th. I am so glad that I have some wonderful memories and some great pics of our dear Spook. She had a smile on her face for 3 days, never complained although I know she was pretty wiped by Sunday, and will continue to serve as an inspiration to us all. The Class of 65 just won't be the same without her.

Dear Sister Bev & Peter, So sorry for your loss. Every time we visited over the years, Joanne would mention you! She was blessed to have you in her life. So glad I saw you recently! She had fun asking me Hanifin House questions & it gave her great comfort entrusting " the suitcase" to you. I hope you are as confident as I that she is embraced now by both Eleanor & Everett, who have been visiting with Ruth & Sherm Gould, who always respected their service to community. Especially during the unpreparedness of the October Snowmageddon, I would say often, " This wouldn't be so bad if 'Ev" Sporbert were still CD Director here!" Bet the THREE Sporbert musketeers are " Servers in Heaven" together!! Chris Gould Harper BHS '65

John & Family....
We are truly saddened that Joanne has left us. Fond memories going back to 1st grade, all the way through graduation in 1965....and then our MANY Class of '65 reunions and gatherings make it difficult to comprehend that "Spook" will not be at our next get-together. Sincerely wishing that all is going as smoothly as can be expected for the family in these trying times. Lots of love heading your way from Belchertown...

Our hearts are heavy along with you John, family members, & friends but know that even though Jo has reached the end of her journey here, she has just begun her brand new one with her creator. That would be the one she worked for & we all hope to attain someday as this life is only temporary and oh so fleeting. Just knowing that she is happy now & not in pain makes me smile for her. I guess my sadness is for those of us who she has left behind but then how can we be sad for her entering into eternal life - free from all the physical & worldly troubles that we have to face everyday, plus her own unique circumstances that she had to cope with. I believe she has just gone ahead to wait for us - some day down the road. May God ease your pain & be happy for Jo - I'm sure that's what she would want for all of us.
