Lawrence, Angie, and Adam.I was so very sad to read of Joanne's death. She was such a wonderful person. You were all blessed to have her as wife and mother and grandmother in your family. I am sorry that I will not be able to join you at her celebration of life today. But I will be there in spirit wishing you all the best as you deal with your loss. God bless you all.Barb (Alexander) Higgs
As part of Joanne's extended family, we feel her sudden loss deeply while recognizing at the same time what a privilege it was to have known and admired her, even as we grieve.She was a woman who epitomized the best of human virtues: kindness, generosity, empathy, a warm and loving presence, selflessness, courage in adversity.She emanated a conspicuous gratitude for all of life's blessings, a homespun charm and sense of humour, and a wealth of understanding.Joanne was a bearer of the light; knowing she was there brought comfort and re-assurance.She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her but we know her spirit will abide in all seasons and the example she has bequeathed us will be a beacon in our futures.We shall cherish our fond memories of her.Robert and Jenny Garrison

My condolences.
Lots of love to all of you. I'm going to miss her and our adventures so much.
I’m so saddened to hear of the passing of Joanne. She was such a sweet and gentle soul. I remember fondly all the years she and my Mom watched Angie and I play hockey and transported us around to games. Great memories. Thinking of you Angie, Adam and Lawrence and the rest of the family.
I am so shocked and saddened to see this notice. Joanne is a soul I will remember forever for her warmth, kindness and commitment to people and pursuits she cared about. The years we spent together transporting our girls to hockey games and attending meetings etc provided memories I have and will continue to cherish. Unfortunately I am unable to attend the visitation but please know my heart is with you Lawrence, Angie, Adam and your loved ones.
We can’t begin to image what you are feeling right now, but we want you to know that we are just a phone call away. Our heartfelt condolences for the loss of such an amazing “Kindred Spirit”. We will miss Mom Massey greatly.Lots of love, Sherri & Jeff Adams
