There are no words to describe the deep honest Mother/Son relationship that Joan and I shared. I'm not the type of guy to speak my feelings,But Mom always knew what I was thinking. She knew the love I had for her. I came into the Litwiller's life 26 years ago. I was accept and Loved by Joan and Gerry unconditionally. Their house was like a breath of fresh air to me. It was a new life for me. Mom helped me though some tough times in my life and like she did for a lot of other people, she fought tooth and nail for me until justice was served. For that I will always be enternally greatful. I hope everything that Karen and I did for her in the last year was enough to repay her. Who i'm I kidding when their is this deep of love repayment is not needed. Love you forever Mom.

To know and love Joan "Joy" Litwiller is to acquire a great understanding of love, compassion and joy that she naturally shared everyday of her life. Joy was a nickname given to her from her wonderful, large hearted husband and best friend: Gerald Litwiller. Joy. A single word that perfectly describes who she was and what she shared. Joy has planted strong, deep rooted memories in each and every one of us. Memories that vary from her passionate smiles, hugs and kisses to her need to put others before her. I remember a time I asked for a drive home from work, which is a twenty minute drive there, and a twenty minute drive back. She knew what shape her back was in, however she could not resist the desire to spend any available time and opportunity to be with a loved one. Ten minutes into the ride I noticed she was beginning to endure some pain so I offered to bus the rest of the way home. Though her pain was strong, her love for my company was much stronger. A cornucopias amount of inspiration was given to me from her immense determination and love. She was an incredible, caring woman that touches all of our hearts. Another spectacular, inspirational memory I have of her is when she announced that she had quit smoking. I cannot begin to describe my pride and joy from her accomplishment. Because of that unbelievable accomplishment, it gave us all much more time to spend with her. Congratulations Gramma. Overtime, her body unfortunately became ill. I specify her body because her soul, her mind and her spirit stayed healthy. Even through the hardest times she maintained her incredibly positive attitude. She fought her best, always to maintain high spirits. On Sunday, September 4th, 2011, a halo was placed upon her head and her spirit grew large, beautiful wings that raised her to a great place where she will always watch over us all, guarding and guiding us through hard times and good times. Although the human eye is incapable of seeing her with her golden halo above her head and her soft beautiful wings, she is undoubtedly with us all. Forever and always. We love you Joy. There's a place in all our hearts for you. We love you.

We extend our most sincere condolences to you, Roger, Brian and Karen, and their families, as well as the Boshart families.

I had to sift through a lifetime of great memories to think of one to write down. I've picked one because I think this just shows how she cared about the people around her.
I always knew I could lean on Aunt Joannie. She was a rock, especially when my Mom was in the hospital. She was there visiting and always checking up on me to see how I was doing, telling me to come over to talk. One night after I got home she called. I remember standing in the kitchen and saying I was ok, just very tired. She knew I wasn't sleeping and after a good talk, she told me to have a mug of hot milk and get to bed. It was probably about 7:00pm in August with the sun still fully up, 6 year olds on their Big Wheels outside playing, but whatever, she didn't care. I needed sleep!
So she said, 'Becky, put a cup of milk in the microwave for a while so it's hot and put some salt and pepper in it with some butter if you like and drink it. It will make you sleep.'
'Ok Aunt Joannie, I will. Thanks, I'll talk to you tomorrow,' I reassured her.
'Now' she insisted.
'Yes, I will as soon as I'm off the phone,' I promised her.
'No. Now. While I'm on the phone. Otherwise you won't do it. I know you won't,' she told me flatly.
Some people in my shoes might have thought she was being silly or that it was unneccessary. I just remember thinking, 'Wow, she must really love me' and that she knew me better than a lot of people.
There isn't anything Aunt Joannie wouldn't do for her family and for people who needed her and I'll always remember her for this truly honourable quality. I see it passed along to the people closest to her, following the example she set even in this very difficult time and I think this is the best legacy she could have ever left. xxoo <3

Joannie loved to give gifts (anonymously at Christmas) and she loved to laugh. When we sisters would get together, we'd all talk at once(but hear everything!) and laugh ourselves sick. The husbands would say, "they're cackling again!" which of course made us laugh even harder. Her wit and sense of humour was priceless. We could all sit together, take a crazy comment or joke and then proceed to totally run with it until we couldn't squeeze even one more chuckle out of it. We'd all end up with sore stomachs and tears running down our faces. Jo got some of her best chuckles when she laughed at herself over some silly thing she did. She was unpretentious, giving, spunky and sharp as a whip! If you needed someone to fight FOR you, Joannie was at the front of the line. You didn't need anyone else ... she was a power to be dealt with! That was our Joannie.

Dear Gerry, Roger, Karen, Brian and families: We were so sorry to hear of Joan's illness and death. Although we are unable to attend the funeral we want you to know our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I remember a reunion (1971) when Joan, Ann and I had new babies -- all born within six days of each other -- wish I had a copy of the photo taken that day! We are so grateful for our special memories. Our sincere condolences in your loss of a beloved wife, mother and grandma. She will be dearly missed.
