I received notice that this guest book is about to go off-line. My Mother, Patsy Hahn/Pellicane was possibly a friend with Joanie. She wanted me to post this to see if maybe a family member would remember her? Did Joanie have a brother,Tommy? He had the nickname, Chirp when they were younger?

Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy on the death of Joanie. Although we only met her a few times, we are friends of her brother, Tommy, she was so known for her culinary artistry.
