Condolence: My dearest Joanne, Jovi. I so loved you for 32 years, and have missed you so incredibly. You and I were always so close, and were always so truly depthfully happy in each other's presence. I have never met anyone before or after I met you, who has even compared to you in intelligence, wit, and personality, or in beauty. We were always so close since we met when I was sixteen and you were fifteen, and I know in my heart that I will never feel about anyone what I always did and will feel for you. I thank God I had you in my life for as long as I did, and I know that you are the one person whom I will always miss more than anyone I've lost. Fly with the angels my darling... Forever yours...

Condolence: I am in shock. Joanne and I went to high school together our senior year. She was so smart and strong and lively. I could never forget her. I don't know if I've ever known anyone else with a sharper wit and I mean that, it would often take me a moment to realize when she was putting me on. She was so unique. I just can't believe she's gone.

Like too many high school friends, I lost touch with Joanne after graduation, but we met again at our 20th high school reunion in 2003. We sat together at dinner and had a great time talking about our high school days and catching up. We exchanged email addresses and that let us say hello now than then. I was going to be in Denver during Nov 2011, so I emailed her, thinking we might meet for lunch, but never heard back from her. I forgot about it, thinking maybe she'd changed addresses, but now I know why. It was while looking for information on what would be our 30th class reunion that I found the notice of Joanne having passed away.

I am so sorry for her family and friends. My deepest condolences. The world is so much poorer for her passing. We think we have all the time in the world to be with the ones we love, but we don't. Joanne brought such joy to my life and I can only hope that she knew how much I loved her.

Condolence: I feel terrible that I just found out that sweet Joanne had passed clear last December, although I believe I knew because I had a spiritual feeling pass through me at about this time and I felt it was her. I don't know how it was that I didn't find out, so was unable to attend her service, although I am sure it was overrun with friends and admirers from all over. I live in Fort Collins, so perhaps that is why I somehow missed this tragic news.

Joanne was such a beautiful person with so much to give and she was so spiritual in every way that I feel bereft just knowing for certain that she is no longer on this earthly plane. Joanne and I shared a special friendship even though I only saw her a few times per year. The last time I saw her, my husband and I purchased our wedding rings from her because we both knew we would never get them anywhere else. She was so frail but her spirit still shined through.

I loved this woman and will miss her always and I hope that family and friends are still checking this site because I really want to offer my sincere condolences.

I love you, Joey, and I will always feel you in my heart.

Condolence: I was very sad to hear of the loss of Joanne. But I rejoice that I got to meet such an incredible woman. I met her maybe 10 years ago at the metaphysical fair in Denver and was captivated by her energy, beauty, and passion & knowledge of her jewels. Every year it was a treat to go to the fair and pick up a new lovely from Joanne. I last saw her in Sept. '11 at her benefit in Cherry Creek after learning of her cancer struggle. I was surprised to see how much it had a hold on her. I was attracted to a pearl pendant that I did ultimately buy. She explained that my attraction to the piece was because of the baby I am carrying. I have worn it almost every day. I always get compliments on the "Joanne" jewels and proudly detail where & who I got them from. I will sadly miss not adding to my collection but most importantly I will miss not having her light on the earth with us. I am comforted to know she is in the heavens watching over her loved ones. My sincere condolences to her family. Peace to you all.

Condolence: I met Joanne at the metaphysical fair years ago and started buying jewelry from her as my annual treat. The jewelry was special because she helped pick out the perfect piece for me and was attentive and intuitive. She truly loved what she did and her joy and passion radiated.
This fall when I was at her townhome, I laid eyes on a cluster she said was called Celestite. She offered it to me but I refused. I later saw it at her annual Christmas party and marveled in it.

This past weekend I was at my dad's house and he said the cleaning lady left him a stone. I looked at it and it was Celestite! Celestite comes from a Latin word meaning 'heaven'. I was so excited, Joanne found a way of delivering it to me!

Special thanks to Terry and his daughter Tara for helping her through the daily challenges and chemo treatments.

I loved Joanne's spirit. That will continue on.

Condolence: I met Jo Anne at a Metaphysical Fair in Colo. Spgs. 2-3 years ago and then reconnected with her at the same fair in October of 2011. We had such a lovely visit that day. I knew that a cure was probably not going to be possible for Jo Anne and after I left her booth, I knew angels were all around her and I felt so honored and blessed to have had the opportunity of connecting with her, if even for just a few minutes. I purchased a pendant from Jo Anne that day - smokey quartz with tourmaline veins inside the quartz. I will treasure that piece for the rest of my life and will always, always remember Jo Anne Jablonski. She's dancing with the angels, for sure. Love and peace, Jo Anne and to her family and friends. Thank you.

Condolence: I met JoAnne when I was an 18-year-old attending the University of Northern Colorado. I took one look at her standing behind her table of treasures and saw the light and magic around her. I have worn the very first ring that I purchased from her that day every day for the last 18 years. JoAnne was a bright light in my life. She always made me laugh and feel special and included. She genuinely cared about people, her work, and her mission in life - a true rarity. I will miss her terribly, but I know that she is in a brighter and better place now and that she'll continue to share her magic with all of us. I miss you, JoAnne.

Condolence: To the Jablonski Family,

You may remember me from your San Antonio days. I used to visit Joanne at your home back when we were just in middle school. I was also fortunate to have been invited to go with your family to see a couple of Joanne's swim meets when we were just 13 years old. Needless to say...I liked Joanne very much.

I eventually moved and lived in Denver, but did not know Joanne was there too. It wasn't until just a few months ago that I reached out and found Joanne on Facebook. She did respond, but I was unaware of her condition. I was very saddened to find out just before Christmas that she had passed. I was hoping to see her once again.

It's with heavy heart that I extend my best to Joanne's family during this difficult time. She was a wonderful person and always kind to me. I will miss her and remember her always.

May her memory be eternal!

Love,

John Alexandrides

Condolence: Joanne, we will always hold close the wonderful memories of you growing up and every time we look to the night sky and see a bright twinkling star we will Know it's you looking down and smiling on us.
God Bless You.

All our love
Aunt Helen and Uncle Jim

Condolence: First of all, I want to THANK Terri Vaughn, (lots of gratitude) had it not been for his unconditional LOVE of Joanne I would not have had the honor and privilege of being with her in her time of need and experience all the stages of dying with Joanne of angry to bliss and peace. Terri’s care of Joanne is what allowed me and her family and friends to get precious Joanne moments at the end of her wonderful life!

Joanne always introduced me as her best friend and I knew her Mother Ursula was her best friend! They had a mother/daughter relationship; also, however, Joanne had the experience of her mom as a BEST FRIEND.
I just tried to accept Joanne for where she was at, at that moment and she had some moments…she definitely spoke her mind and did not hold back on the self- expression which is what people adored about Joanne!

Joanne was like a kid at Christmas when she knew her dad Joe was coming to town to visit her. Her eyes lit up like Christmas lights when her dad walked into the room and there was unconditional love in both of their eyes.
Even though that moment did not last for the entire visit-- it fulfilled Joanne and gave her peace of mind that her Dad came to visit!
For those of you who do not know because it was not shared, Joanne loved cooking chicken enchiladas for her dad when she would go to Florida to visit every year. She loved playing tennis and watching TV with him. The fact that he served his country in the Air Force made Joanne very proud and she talked about it to a few friends those things like how much we love them that we never share or tell our family!

My dear friend Jackie, your sister Joanne did not fulfill the one thing in life that she thought she wanted the most---to be married! I even got to share that experience with her when we made visual poster’s to create the life you wanted. Joanne even had the wedding cake and dress on the poster!
I am still laughing when you came out to be transformed and do the Landmark forum. Joanne told me I could give you a ride and pick you up but we could not exchange phone numbers. Joanne was worried that you and I would be better friends then her and I. I think the saying goes what you worry about you bring about.
Thank you for letting me process over the last two years by telephone of why Joanne would not let me in her life. I get it now that she knew it would cause me too much pain as I was grieving my loss of the love of my life Raul. Joanne was amazing on her KNOWING and INTUTION!
Jackie you have fulfilled all of Joanne’s wishes for yourself-transformation and knowing your gifts…do not change as you are whole and perfect exactly as you are!!! Thank God for sisters and best friends!

The best part of being with Joanne at the end of her life …..Is Joanne knew she was an extraordinary human being who got to live life to the fullest and experience more than the average person. At the end she wrote a grateful list of World traveler, green thumb, self-employed, beauty, etc. She made a difference by giving love and wisdom to whoever had the pleasure of meeting her.

The lesson is to live each day of the best quality of Joanne in our lives; each of us will pick a different quality as she had zillions to choose from and remember all the experiences you shared with her! I know she will be sending us messages and telling us that life is short enjoy and love each other.

Thanks for being in my life Joanne Jablonski and I hope I learn all the lessons!
