My deepest condolences go out to Joni's family. 

When I think of Joni fun, loving, nurturing, kind and welcoming come to my mind. She had a way of bringing the best out of you and raising up your spirit. 

I always admired the way she raise Gina, Gabe, Mike and Chris. She provided them a home with spirituality and love. She fully supported them in the development of art, dance and music. I remember her home was full of good vibes, fun and creativity!

She will be greatly missed and remember in the sweetest regards 💕 

Rest in peace Joni, I give thanks for all your blessings!

Dear Regina, I was saddened to hear about Joni but I know she's a light over us and around us now. What a delightful woman she was and her loving the songs that you sang in the home. I've lost your number since I left Hanover but I would love to be able to visit again. Much love

Dear Gina, Gabe, Mikey and Chris,

So sad to learn of your mom’s passing. What a loss for all of you. 

Her obituary is perfect: yes, she was the life of the party!!  It always made my day when our paths crossed. She was kind and fun to be around. 

I’m sorry I will miss her memorial. Alan and I are doing an all-day workshop for our Quaker Meeting that day. I would so love to see you all and your kids. I will be with you in Spirit that day. 

♥️Mimi (and Alan)
