Jo Ann Guercia passed away peacefully in her sleep Thursday, June 20, 2019. She is survived by her two precious sons Dylan and C.J., parents Donna and Tom Tripoli and Rick and Janet Barnes, brother TJ Tripoli and sister in law Yan Read Obituary
Jo Ann is one of the first friends I made in adulthood. We shared marriages, pregnancies, hardships and the love for our children. She is the Godmother to my son, Christopher, which speaks volumes to how much I loved, respected and adored her. Heaven gained an angel and we lost one of the best people I know. I wish I could find more eloquent words to describe what an amazing person Jo Ann was. I'll love you forever Jo! Prayers for CJ, Dylan, TJ and the entire family.
Jo Ann,
You are loved, missed, and cherished. Your boys will be in good hands with the young man you helped raise. They will be showered with love and protection. I pray for strength for the family as the void you left behind can only be filled by the spirit and comfort of God. Your smile and warmth with always be remembered.
In times like this I always remember the same prayer, " God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
Sincerely,
Joe
So sorry to hear your precious daughter passed away. She is in the arms of Jesus now
