Help Joanna's Family Continue Her Legacy

Joanna touched many lives around the world and brought joy and happiness to anyone she met. I first met Joanna over 25 years ago and we became tight friends, her family and my family sharing many wonderful memories.  She was full of life, generous and beloved.  She was also goofy and highly intellectual. Joanna believed in education, and she believed the world was an expanded classroom; she taught her children the beauty of the world, giving them an appreciation of the many different cultures, politics and challenges of each.  She is the heart of her family; her husband, Boris, and their sons, Ivan and Philippe and her mother adored her and she them.  Her passing has been devastating to her family and to those who know her.  We are all better people because of Joanna; I, and I know many more, will greatly miss her.  All funds raised will go to her family to help them with the expenses for her funeral, and to help start a college fund for her children.
