I just cried reading that. Joannie had been such a pillar of strength these past two weeks.

I would imagine this would be tougher for Joannie to face than her skate was in Vancouver. She will miss her mom. They were very close. How proud her mom would be of her daughter. Thanks for this.

I've always been wondering when her funeral would take place. So they waited until her daughter's Olympics are completely over. May she rest in peace.
