My heart hurts at the loss of my beautiful cousin Joanne. She was such a blessing to our family and even though we are the Southern branch of the Riccardi family, I have such fond memories of happy family dinners at Joanne and Rich’s home! Joanne was always a beautiful, bright light in our family and she will be missed by all who knew her. All I can say, is heaven just received a a shining angel.

Sending love and prayers to the entire family. Rest in peace dear cousin!

Joanne was vivacious and bubbly! She and Richie were the real-life LOVE STORY! They traveled here to Virginia for their honeymoon with stars in their eyes. God blessed them with a beautiful family and angels will be ready to welcome Joanne and her twinkling eyes to heaven to shine light on her loved ones from above.
