Hi my name is Laura! Many of you know my best friend April and I just wish you all could’ve met her mother too.

It is with extreme sadness that the passing of her mother, Joanne, has recently been announced. Joanne was a bright spark in this world and will be deeply missed. She was a wonderful, kind, and hilarious person that put a smile on everyone's faces every single day. She was truly one of the most hardworking, independent women I’ve ever met who has left not only an imprint on my heart ; but a legacy that will never be forgotten, as it shines brightly through her children.

She was an outstanding mother to her two beautiful daughters, Holly & April. And most importantly the best Grandma to her three grandchildren : Timothy, Piper and Hawthorne, whom she adored more than anything.

We are raising money to cover the costs of the funeral and memorial services for Joanne’s family as her passing was completely unexpected. Please know that your kindness is much appreciated as we help navigate this heartbreaking moment for her children and family. We kindly ask, if you are able to, to donate funds towards the services. Please note: Shares and prayers are also greatly appreciated ❤️
