Zoe was the greatest. She always had a quick wit and kind heart. I, like so many others, knew her through a message board and MySpace. She will be missed by all who knew her. My sincerest thoughts and prayers go to her family. May she rest in peace. Love ya, “Miami”.

I’m another one who knew Zoe from a message forum. I’m saddened to hear the news, and my condolences go out to Zoe’s loved ones, especially her daughter.
I will definitely miss her quick wit. My first encounter with Zoe was on an old gaming forum where I pretended to “steal her chocolate,” and her response to my post almost made me choke and squirt milk through my nose. From then on I always enjoyed seeing her on the forums.
I will surely miss you Zoe. Rest in Peace, friend.

Though it has been a number of years since I last spoke with Zoe I always held her in high regard and I feel comfortable saying she was the heart of the online community she was a part of to the majority of its members.
My thoughts and prayers are with Zoe and her loved ones left behind.
You will be greatly missed “Miami”. rest in peace.

I was one of Zoe’s many online friends. I knew her as Miami on a crazy message board that spun off of an Everquest site called “Flamevault”.
She was a unique voice in our twisted little corner of the internet. Always funny, creative and lovingly sarcastic. As one of the few females in a mostly male environment she more than held her own.
While I never met her in person, she was someone whom I always looked forward to encountering online and always considered a friend.
May she rest in peace…

I will never forgive Joanne for using our unborn son as a weapon against me. I can never forgive any person for breaking the news that she had just gone to an abortion clinic over a text message, and definitely not someone so spiteful that for months after, would harass me with pictures of aborted babies from the pro-lifers. I hope that Mephistopheles is ready for you, Joanne, because God only knows that the world had enough of you for your time here.
Brenda SettlesPalmieri (St. Cloud FL US)
February 20, 2009, 12:00 am
For those that use this message board for personal vengeance, your message is thoughtless, tactless and disgraceful and disrespectful to the entire Palmieri Family. Joanne was well loved and well respected, only cowards use memory books for personal problems.
JohnGalt (Nashville TN US)

Having just learned the details of Zoe’s passing, I am again struck to the core. No one was less deserving of pain, let alone passing from us.
My apologies for the I am unable to think of a word to describe them from Flamevault who were so reprehensible here. I wish I could trade their lives for hers and talk to Miami one more time.
