Deepest condolences to you and your family, Joannie. Stay strong and be proud of what you have done and will continue to do, because your mother would've done the same thing if she was in your position. (Cliche, but true.)

My heart goes out to you. Be brave! We're behind your every step. -in a non stalker way-

I lost my mother here four years ago, just days shy of her 54th birthday. It sucks and I am sorry.

What could we all say that would make a moment like this better? You are a very strong young woman and competing is the best way for you to feel that in yourself. Canada, as a country, and as a people are holding you in our hearts.

Joannie... Whatever happens in these next days, whether or not you choose to compete cannot and will not change the fact that you already are an Olympic champion. We are proud to be your fellow Canadians.

To you and your family... God bless.
