The Johnson family is sorry to announce the suddern passing of Joanne Johnson on 12/12/08. She was the most wonderful person and we miss her terribly. We cannot put into words how she touched our lives. She was generous, loving, fun, gifted, and beautiful. She loved everyone deeply and touched everyone she met. We hope she knows how everyone loved her in return as deeply as she loved them. We know how you will miss her unique cards and artistic abilities as much as we will. She was always happiest when she was stamping and we're sure she's doing it now. We love you Joanne. Stamp On!!!
Joanne spread much joy through her card making. If you would like to do something in memory of her, we are sure she would like you to send a card to someone in need.
I love you and always will and I will never forget you - Rich.

About Me
- Joanne
- I'm married to a wonderful man. Together we have two children, and four grandchildren. I have a passion for cardmaking and scrapbooking. I've been doing both now for the last nine years and I just never tire of it! I think it's a great creative outlet and a good form of relaxation and stress relief. I sell some of my work but I truly participate in this craft for my own enjoyment.

1 – 200 of 276 Newer› Newest»I am typing this with a very, heavy heart. Thank you for thinking enough about us to let us know that Heaven has received the most loving of Angels. I just received a card from my lovely, friend Joanne today, and this news has cut me to the bone. My heart, thought, love and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time.
I love you Joanne!!!! I will miss the smiles and laughter we shared. This world will not be the same without you.
Love and Hugs,
Carolyn
I too write this with great sadness. I am, quite frankly, in total shock with this news. I have only known Joanne a very short time, but in that short amount of time I found her to be one of the most kind-hearted, sweet, unbelievably positive people I have met through this blogging. I knew this to be true from her recent post about someone taking her wedding rings during a doctor's visit. I couldn't believe how forgiving and positive she was about this situation. Knowing she had just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and having her wedding rings stolen, she still managed to put a positive spin on it and made a beautiful Christmas card to make her feel better. This is such sad, sad news. Please let me say that my heart breaks for your family, and that you are all in my thoughts and prayers this night and for the coming months. I am so very sorry for your loss, and for ours here in blogland. I will miss her very much. My best to you Rich and your family. Curt O'Brien
my heart goes out to you, my prayers are with you and your family.
This news is so so sad; I cannot add much to what Carolyn and Curt have said so eloquently; I could always count on Joanne to leave me such uplifting comments. I will truly miss her, and I know a lot of others will as well. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
My heart aches for you and your family, Rich and for all of us in blogland. I have only known Joanne for a short while but I looked forward to her visit everyday and leaving me the sweetest, heartfelt comments. I will miss her very much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Karen
How very sad for you and your family and everyone in online...my thoughts and prayers will be with you throughout these coming days.
So sorry Joanne.
Hugs Cindy
My heart breaks to hear this news! I will miss everything about. She always made me laugh at our stamping get togethers and they will definitely not be the same without her.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
kim
I love you Joanne and I will miss you deeply!
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss stopping by to "visit" with Joanne and her wonderful cards. May your many happy memories of your time together help you through this difficult time. HUGS!
I feel blessed to have met Joanne through SCS and her wonderful blog. Her work was amazing, and she was an inspiration to all of us.
,Joanne was a wonderful, classy lady, and I will miss her very much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Rich
Pat Dadisman
I am in shock and can't imagine the heartache you have right now. She was such a lovely person inside and out. She reached the world. In my heart I know she is still with you and is so pleased by what you have done here to let us know. God bless you and yours today and always. It is very easy to see why you are her husband, for even with her passing you are thinking of her and her friends. Please accept my sincere words of sadness and condolence.
Hugs to you and your family.

What a wonderful tribute posted in honor and memory of Joanne. Thank you so much for keeping her blog up for everyone to see what a wonderful person she was -- her loving spirit shows in her work and posts. May God be with the family. Martha Kay
This is awful news. I haven't known Joanna for a long time or in real life, but thought of her as one of the kindest persons I ever met. I will miss her.
My thoughts are with you all.

God bless you and keep you Joanna, you will be missed.
I am still in shock from the call I got yesterday with this terrible news.
I will miss you Joanne!
Our stampy nights won't be the same without her wonderful spirit.
My thoughts are with your family.
I cannot imagine the sorrow in your your hearts. She and her creations will be sorely missed. I bet she is in stampin' heaven now!! My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you.
My heart is broken, my best friend has left us. Joanne was the most wonderful, fun,loving and generous person. On my worst days she could lift me up and put a positive spin on the worst situations. On 12/5 we met for dinner and she kept thanking me for letting her vent about her fustration and yet relief at her RA diagnosis. I wasn't doing anything she hadn't done for me a hundred times.
To her family I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss and that i will keep my friend and her family in my thoughts and prayers.
I will forever miss you buddy!!!!
Love,
Terry
I am incredibly shocked and saddened to learn of Joanne's passing. My heart goes out to you and her loved ones for I know you will miss this very special angel who blessed so many of us with her friendship and love. Thank you for taking the time to post on her blog. You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
My heart goes out to Joanne's family and loved ones! I have never met Joanne but she was a good friend of mine! She was thoughtful, generous, kind, fun-loving, and talented to put it mildly!
Joanne was one of the first SCSer's that befriended me when I first became a member. She was such a joy and I will miss her so much! I am shocked, saddened and can't believe the news.
My heart is with you. I will take comfort in knowing that Joanne has been reunited with her Mother but that has happened way too early!
Joanne, I will miss you my friend. Thanks for being you. Thanks for touching my life.
I am so very sorry. Joanne was a very sweet person and always made you feel welcome and cared about, even if you never had met her in real person. Prayers to you and the family! GOd Bless.
For Joannes family I am soooo sorry. I do not know how she died, and I am an RN so it makes me wonder so quickly an a very talented woman and kind caring person is taken from us!
Please know my thoughts and my prayers go out to you and your family in this horific time!!
God Bless and Keep You!!!

I have been in shock all weekend.....I can't believe this wonderful, sweet, talented lady was taken from us. Just know that she was loved and will be greatly missed. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you.
This is sad news indeed. Please know that as you move forward, our prayers will be with your family.
---Becca
When you share a passion and love for something like we all do who rubberstamp, it doesn't matter that our lives only touched on the internet for some of us. We still seem to bond with one another and care for one another out of that admiration for someone's talents and through someone's encouragement. Joanne inspired and encouraged so many of us and even though I never had the privilege of meeting her, my life has been touched by her in so many ways. My prayers are with your family and we will miss her as well.
Rich, from everyone at Splitcoast I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and I wish you and your family the best. Thanks for taking the time to let us know.
Daven
I am still sitting here in shock. I can't believe this talented, wonderful person will not be with us any longer. We will miss her on our stamping nights and forever. Our prayers are with you and the rest of her family. I feel very grateful for knowing her.
Please know that Joanne will truly be missed. Your family is in my prayers.
I am very sad to hear this news. Rich, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. She will be missed!
My thoughts and prayers are with you Rich as well as your children and grandchildren right now.
There are no words to comfort you right now in this difficult time, but know that she will be so missed by everyone she touched with her talent and kindness.
She is a very special lady who brightened the lives of many, even those she only met through her blog.
My heart goes out to you Rich and your family. Joanne always left such kind comments for everybody on their artwork and was always able to put a a smile on my face as she did for many others :) She will be missed dearly and her kindness will always be treasured.
Take care of each other and know that she will not be forgotten...
Hugs in sympathy,
Kim Teasdale

I am so saddened to hear this,tears coming down as I am typing this. I had not known Joanne for that long,but have enjoyed visiting her blog everyday as she did mine.

Joanne,Please know that you will be forever in heart,thoughts and prayers@!!!

I will be thinking about and praying for your family!
Love, Julie
I second Carolyns sentiment.
I cannont believe this has happend, my heart too is extremely heavy. Joanne was a source of inspiration to all in this community, one whose wonderfully encouraging comments were a lift to everyone. I enjoyed paying visits to Joanne's blog, as she always had something new to share, not only about her crafting but how proud she was of her family.
Her smiling profile pic always made me feel better. Our loss is heavens gain.
Joanne I am completely devasted by your departing you have been so good to me. I wish you eternal happiness and you will be forever in our hearts.
My heart goes out to Joanne's family and my thoughts an prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
With love.

Joanne touched so many people the world over with her beautiful cardmaking and art as well as her warm friendship, sweet comments and just spreading joy. I'm so sad to learn of her passing and will always remember how she touched so many lives with joy.
Jennifer
I didn't know Joanne very well, I am new to SCS, but through reading and viewing her posts, I can tell that she was an angel on earth. Her job here was complete and she has now returned to be with our Lord.
To Rich and her children and grandchildren, I will be praying for you. Again, I'm so sorry.
My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
My thoughts are with you and your family, Hugs, Nikki x

Dear Johnson family.....my heart goes out to you all. And my prayers and thoughts are with you at this amazingly difficult time. May the Lord wrap you in the arms of His abiding love and may you feel His peace.

I am so sorry for your loss and I know it being the holidays will be one of the hardest to get through. But Joanne is now in her lovely mansion in heaven that Jesus said she would have and I just imagine that she is already arranging card making get togethers with the other angels up there. And Just think she will have the finest of supplies to make these beautiful creations she made her on earth to share with all of us while she was here. I wish you peace and a time of great rememberances with family and know that she is looking down on all of you from heaven and will be waiting for you to join here one day.
Joanne I will miss your wonderful creations and your kindness and passion for life that was so well displayed on your blog.
Give each other tight hugs and hold each other tight every night; in time the pain will heal and may the Lord engulf you in his arms to give you the much needed reassurance that everything will work out.
Cyber Hugs to you Rich, your children and grandchildren.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I am saying lots of prayers for you and your family.
I was reading my emails and got an email update from someone who knew your wife well ...... I Wish I would have gotten the chance to know her .. she sounds like a wonderful woman, very loving and caring. My best to you and your family Rich during the tough times ... I lost my dad in July but I can't imagine loosing my soulmate ... my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this tough & difficult time.

I am extremely sorry to hear this - my thoughts & prayers are with each of you. I am new to Joanne's blog and am happy and honored to have know her for that short amount of time. She will be truly missed.
Janet
All the heartfelt condolences expressed here are certainly a tribute to Joanne. She inspired and encouraged so many. My prayers will be with you, Rich, and with the many family members and friends from all over the world who fell in love with Joanne, with her kind spirit, and with her amazing talent. May our God of all comfort draw near to you now.
It is really hard to know what to say to you. The passing of a loved one is not pleasant for those left behind. It is wonderful to know that her artistry and craft work will live on forever. Now in a better place, Joanne is watching over all her family in friends. Joyous memories are what will give you solice in this difficult time.
Heather
I was fortunate to know Joanne thru Stampin Up. She had a beautiful soul, a certain serentiy that was calming, and a fun side, she touched my heart! Her talent with cardmaking was breathtaking, the "Stampin Divas" were always amazed at what she created. You touched many lives, and your bloggers will truly miss you. My thoughts and prayers are with you Rich, and your family thru this difficult time! God Bless!
Cheryl
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I've enjoyed visiting Joanne's blog many times to admire her creations! I pray that your family will be comforted during this time of mourning.
I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you.
My Favorite Sister,
Joanne, you have been the best Sister ever. You were always there when the family needed you. You were always there when I needed you, as a SISTER would have. You were there to get me out of trouble with Mom and Dad even though it was always my fault [sometimes :-)]. Even though I teased you about me being the “favorite” of the family, you were my true favorite. When you were in a room everyone smiled, when someone was sad you made them laughed. Every time I received a Stamp IT cards I’m so amazed at your talent and so proud of your work. When I get an email joke from you I just laugh. You are now up in Heaven with Mom looking down on us.
Sis, you will be truly truly missed and I will always love you. Your little baby brother.
Bill
Although I did not know Joanne, I have enjoyed all of her posts and her creativity. God has received a wonderful angel. Please accept my prayers at this most difficult time in your life. May God Bless you and your family. Always remember the good times to help you get through the bad times. God Bless, Emily.
I have just recently "discovered" Joanne and her amazing talents. She always made me smile, as I know she did for all of us. My prayers are with you and your family, and the memories of Joanne, for me, will live on in the cards and smiles she shared. Cindy
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
I'm stunned and saddened; and I don't even know what to say. I'm so very sorry that we have lost this beautiful person. I will miss her creativity, her love of life, and her wonderful spirit. May you all have peace and comfort during this terribly difficult time. Huge hugs to all her family...and again, my sincerest sympathy.
As a fellow blogger who's also passionate about stamping, this news is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for your loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. May you find peace and comfort of loved ones. xx
I was new to Joanne's blog but her love for this craft shone through all her posts, and I looked forward to seeing more and more of her designs. Imagine what fun the angels are having now, with her to help them stamp some cards. For someone so full of love and life, this is very hard and sad news to bear, especially at this time of the year. My heart goes out to all of you, and I hold you in my prayers. Nancy in Maine, soon to be "home" in PA.
I am so Sorry... My thoughts are prayers are with you and your family....Ila
My thoughts and prayers are with Rich and family at Joannes sudden passing.

My thought are with you and your family!
Rich, please know that our entire community is so saddened by this news. We'd like to do what JoAnne would do... reach out and somehow help.
Please reach out to me at susanna.boyd@gmail.com and pick a charity or organization that JoAnne loved and we'll see if we can't make a donation or come up with some "JoAnne Johnson Craft Challenge". We'd like to honor her in some way.
The Paper Craft Planet Team

Dear Rich and Family,
I just wanted to let you know how sorry I was to hear of Joanne's sudden passing! To loose someone so close is such excruciating agony and you have my deepest sympathy. I found comfort in the following scripture and I hope that perhaps it may comfort you. "And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you."
John 16:22
Love and hugs!
