Dear Family of JoAn, It is with great heartfelt gratitude that I say how sorry I am for your loss. JoAn and I were neighbors in Northern New Mexico. I last talked to her around her birthday. I called to wish Happy Mother's Day.

In memory of JoAn, and the knowledge, love and light she shared with so many others in life and forever more. Sending tenderness and comfort to all of her family members.

To one of the original woman warriors. Your strength, independence, big heart and generous spirit grace the world. We are all better for knowing you. Blessings galore! Sarah.

Darling JoAn, You are such a special spirit dancing through this daring life of yours, stepping out of bounds and following no ones lead. What a courageous woman you are and I am most fortunate to have had the opportunity to know you. Love Margo

My thoughts and heart are with you all. What a remarkable woman.
