Dear Paul and Family,
Both Jim and I were both so saddened to hear of Joanne’s passing. She was such a vibrant lady who was always so willing to lend a hand helping others. It never ceased to amaze me how many of the same people were knew from outside of Honeoye. Joanne was one who was never afraid to get into something that needed to be done, even if it meant a little extra work.
Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers and if we can help in any way do not hesitate to call. Love to you all. Love, Bonnie and Jim Sykes

Shocked and sad comes to mind as I know all of you and anyone that knew Joanne are feeling. I am so sorry and I wish I had only…held her hand tighter that evening we saw you at dinner. She was a very special lady to so many and we will miss her dearly. So Joanne..till we see each other again..BEHAVE.
We feel so blessed to have gotten to know Joanne over the past several years. Our little visits to talk about the happenings around the lake were always so fun. Joanne’s sense of humor and warmth are what make our second home so special. I can’t think of Honeoye without remembering Joanne’s wave from the deck as she was enjoying the summer weather. She will be missed by our family.
