Condolences
The family of Joni M. Butler has received the following condolences.
It was with a heavy heart that I read of Joni's recent passing. I moved to Rochester in 1999 and found her cat sitting service almost immediately. She took wonderful care of my several cats over the years until she sold her business. My sincere condolences to Joni's family and friends. I know she will be missed.
So sorry to hear of Joni’s death. She was a friend and colleague at Mayo. She a beautiful smile which she displayed often. May she rest in peace.
Joni was our cat sitter for many years. We rarely saw her in person, but our phone conversations and written notes assured us that all of our cats were in good hands. We appreciated her so much, and wish her peace now. Our condolences to the family.
Good-bye, my dear friend. I'll miss you.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Sending prayers and condolences. Anna Parkinson
