Joanne Cline

Over the years I have shared many laughs, Boru vodkas, delicious meals and deep conversations with Joanne. Each one was special; I am so fortunate to have had so many good times, and they were all GOOD..... Sending bundles of hugs and loads of love to all of you- Kathy Krohn

My condolences, I know the last few years have been very challenging and difficult, i hope you all find some comfort and solice in faith and the warm memories, thoughts and orayers of family and friends. Joanne has now joined that great heavenly chorus and is probably advising and helping all the other members of the angelic chorale to really sing out ! Whenever i saw her, we always shared oir mutual love of music and opera and caught up on family happenings. She kept her thoughts on others and her spirits high, which i know was challenging given her illness.

Please accept my most sincere sympathy. I did not see Joanne often these past years, but I have so many fond memories of her and the family when I was growing up. She was always kind, cheerful and had a wonderful laugh. I loved her love of music and appreciated that gift even more as I became involved in the opera world. Joanne"s eyes would shine with excitement whenever talking about some wonderful opera or choral piece..in particular I remember her enthusiasm when we discussed Verdi's Requiem. She was a woman of many talents and gifts and a brave soldier as well. I know you are all going to miss her very much. Please know you are in my thoughts, heart and prayers. Kay Ness

Plants-A-Plenty was purchased for the family of Joanne Greiner Cline.

Joanne was a beautiful woman, inside and out--talented, warm-hearted, and brave. She was also a gracious hostess and our family still remembers the beautiful party she gave for Meg and Kevin when they were married. Although I unfortunaely didn't hear about her many friends in "Team Joanne," she has been in my prayers for years and Tom and her grieving family will remain in them as they adjust to living without their "center." I've sent a donation in her memory to Su Casa Catholic Worker, a warm-hearted shelter in the South Side of Chicago that she would have loved.
