Thank you so much, it was good to meet ‘Al Paladinni’ after all these years of hearing about you. Jo-Anne spoke of you very fondly.

My sincere condolences to all of you. I am so saddened to hear of Jo-Anne’s passing. Jo-Anne and I go way back and I have so many happy and great memories of our friendship.
I’d meet her at Food City when she was finished work and I had my hours in at Glenvalley Bowl and we’d figure out how much our pay cheques were going to be and how we were going to spend them. We had so many laughs together.
Remembering all of you in my heart, Love to All Mary Voisin

My deepest prayers are with Andrew and indeed the entire Madden clan. Joanne and my sister Kathy shared many firsts together, in fact, I am sure they shared most firsts together, as best friends often do. And while they had not seen each other in recent years, to this day, when anyone has asked Kathy who her best friend is, she has always answered the same – Joanne Madden.
Joanne and Kathy gave Mary-Pat, Ellen and I such a hard time when we were young and some years ago, over too many drinks and a very late night at the house, Joanne, Mary-Pat, John, Kathy and I laughed til we cried at the memories! Needless to say, Kathy and I stayed the night! There were the weekends at the cottage with the Maloney’s and the Madden’s filled with swimming, lots of laughs and tons of milk being consumed…..Joanne and Kathy were nowhere to be found!
Again, Andrew, Paul, Mary-Pat, Ellen and John, no words can appropriately express your loss.
I have only deep sadness for everyone who, like me, was lucky enough to know Joanne and, for my sister, who has lost her best friend.
Joanne will truly be missed and has left us all way too soon.
Love Margaret

Margaret, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
I can recall when I was in Mr. Salazar’s grade 6 class our mother wanted Jo-Anne and Kathy to take me to the show with them to see ‘To Sir With Love’. After some convincing from our mother they agreed to let me go with them but on the condition it be the only time. To this day it is one of my favourite movies.
One of Jo-Anne’s and Kathy’s many ‘adventures’ and one of the stories that Jo-Anne would tell us about was at your cottage. Jo-Anne and Kathy took your father’s car out for a little joy ride while he was sleeping and they ended up in a corn field leaving parts of the car behind.
We miss her very much but have many happy memories of Jo-Anne to hold in our hearts.
Love Mary-Pat, Ellen, John, Paul and Andrew
