JoAnne Beth Gionet!
4 Feb. 1949 to 1 Sep. 2006
Beloved wife, devoted mother and a friend to all, she was always there to provide support, encouragement and when necessary, a strong reminder of right and wrong. Her caring love, discipline and responsibility combined to make our home warm and nurturing. JoAnne truly summed up the word "Mom" .Now that I am gone, remember me with smiles and laughter. And if you need to cry, cry with your brother or sister who walks in grief beside you. And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give to them what you need to give to me.There are so many who need so much. I want to leave you something.
Something much better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I've known or helped in some special way. Let me live in your heart as well as in your mind. You love me most by letting your love reach out to our loved ones, by embracing them and living in their love. Love does not die, people do.
So when all that's left of me is love, give me away as best you can!
