Saturday evening, at about 6:00 PM, Joanie passed away. She had been kept alive with a respirator for the past four days. Joanie looked very peaceful and comfortable the entire time she was in the hospital. Within 30 minutes of removing her from life support she died.
A memorial is being planned for next Sabbath afternoon, April 17, at 3:00 PM, at the Sonora Adventist Church (40 N Forest Rd, Sonora, CA 95370), our home church for the past 31 years.

Words cannot begin to describe my grief and that of so many other of my family members, friends and church family. We are all crying over losing Joanie and the great light that she was to everyone whose life was touched by her love, laughter and even her struggle these past few years. Though we know she is at peace, I pray especially for you and Troy-I pray that the Holy Spirit and the angels will uphold you and give you both comfort and strength--that you will FEEL that presence and love today and in the days ahead.
I'm not sure what to say. I'm having a hard time comprehending that Mrs. Carle has gone. My heart is aching for you and Troy. Knowing how heartbroke I feel at loosing Mrs. Carle I can't even imagine the loss you feel and Troy feel. Last night I re-read your blog and as the tears kept streaming down my face I kept thinking what an amazing partnership you guys had. When I close my eyes I hear Mrs. Carle's laugh and I can't process that I won't hear that laugh again until I get to heaven. This is one of those losses that I won't be able to understand until after Jesus comes. She was an amazing wonderful woman. My thoughts and prayers continue for you and Troy.
I am so sorry to hear this news. Mrs. Carle was a shining beacon of light in this world, so kind and compassionate, and I am very sad to hear of her passing. I know that condolences cannot ease the pain, but I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray that you may find peace in this time of turmoil.
Mrs. Carle is one of the highlights of my childhood. I aml privileged to have known her. Seeing her in church when I visited Sonora made me feel as if home is what I remember it being. Now a little bit of home is missing. That makes me feels sad.
