Very Sad News about Joanne (Stamps4sanity)

[Mothermark]

I received a very sad email from Lynda (Grammylyn), a good friend of Joanne's. She asked that I share some very sad news regarding Joanne with the SCS community.

Joanne had a massive heart attack and passed away on Friday. Many of you were touched by Joanne. She was a kind, thoughtful, generous and fun-loving person, not to mention a very talented stamper. She was full of life and such a pleasure to know! I only wish I would have had the opportunity to meet Joanne in person.....

I remember when Joanne's mother was so very ill. We all sent cards to Joanne's mother to lift her spirits and Joanne was so thankful to all of us for that. Her mother passed away not long after that and I am sad to say that now she and Joanne have been reunited.

If you would like to send the family a card please pm me or Lynda (Grammylyn)

Joanne, you will be missed my friend! Thank you for being you!

[loxykelly]

Wow, that's sad. I'll be praying for her family.

[LilLuvsStampin]

I was absolutely stunned and so very saddened to learn about Joanne's passing. She truly was a sweet woman. She and I would talk about our love for stamping and the debilitating effects of our arthritis. I remember when we sent cards to her mom when she was so ill, and Joanne was so appreciative of our doing that. Joanne was a very kind-hearted soul and sent me cards during my recuperation from my surgery. I'd like to share this really cute one that she sent to me:

Get Well RAK stamps4sanity by LilLuvsStampin at Splitcoaststampers

I'll miss her dearly.

[stampkinz]

I didn't know her but am sad for those who did. It is so awful when someone passes away so suddenly.

[KY Southern Belle]

Oh I am just so heartbroken over Joanne's passing. I truly loved her as a person. She sent me so many RAKs and praise God I always hold onto my RAKs. I am crushed.

[LaurieR]

How very sad. Thanks Cindy for the post. Hugs and prayers to her family.
