If you say Aunt Joanne to me, I say Chicago Cubs. My Aunt Joanne took us to so many Cubs games. I tell my husband that's why I won't go to many baseball games w/him b/c my Aunt *baseball-ed* me out! Aunt Joanne was an extremely generous person. She loved my son when he was born as if he were hers too. My family & I miss her so much. All my love to you Aunt Joanne.

Your niece,

Kim

Hmmm.. where do I start? So many memories and all great ones! I grew up with Patti and we always were together. Joanne and my mom Sharon and Mary Lynn always had us (my two brothers also) doing things and going places. St. Louis, Lamb's Farm. The list is long and we always had fun and crazy times. My favorite memory was Cave of the Mounds. Joanne always was dressed to the nines. She had her spike heels on and was going through the cave! She had and still has a special place in my heart!!! She was a great person! What more can I say besides she will be missed. Love, Dya Bono

Although, I did not personally know you Joanne, your daughter Patti is a wonderful person. You obviously have been an OUTSTANDING mother and have instilled your loving and caring ways into your children. I thank you for raising such wonderful children and am very proud to call Patti a friend who through HER strength has helped me more that anyone will ever know. I look up to you as well as her. Thank you again for doing your job here on Earth - you did it well!!

Yeah it's me again...I remember when amber used to have sleepovers...and the best part about it was you'd get up in the morning and get us Mcdonalds yummie pancakes and when amber had parties you buy the biggest subway sandwich and the best "drinks hehe".....yeah you were and still is to me the best entertainer.....and for xmas you'd spoil amber rotten with those trips to Golf MIll Mall. You were too cool. I can honestly say that Amber's mom was and still is the coolest and funniest mom. I will never ever forget you for you were very special to me. You'd always say, "Amber it's Chanel" and laugh.....man I gonna miss you...ok I told myself I would't cry but I can't help it for we have lost a loved one and God has gained an angel. I will look over amber as if she was my sister cause in my heart she is. I will make sure she's well for you would do the same. Rest In Peace

My mom was the best mom I could ever have and a great friend. I feel so lost without her here at home. I just wake up hoping she's there waiting to ask how my day went. I love you mom so much and I know you will watch over me. Thanks for everything. I will do anything to make you proud.

I unfortunately didnt have the pleasure of ever meeting Mrs. Kosac, but hearing all the great things said about her from her daughter Amber really makes this tough. Hearing the things from Amber, Mrs. Kosac was a strong, loving, caring individual that also liked to laugh a lot. She will never be forgotten.

Mrs. Kosac was a loving person. She will truly be missed. You will always be in my heart for you treated me as if I was your daughter. You always made me feel welcome. I am glad that I was and still is friends with Amber.....because I had a chance to meet a extraordinary person like you. I miss you.......
