I have been looking for the right words to say for a few days and I am still at a loss as to what to say. Aunt Joan always had a smile on her face and kindness in her heart. She will truly be missed. Prayers to all those that knew her.

I am so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. Worked with her at Macy's for many years. Would also see her at my girlfriends pool all summers long.
Will miss seeing her in her spot with her sister

My prayers and thoughts go out to Joan and her family

Joanie was one of my best friends at Coe College. She was my Chi Omega pledge mom, a bridesmaid at my wedding, the Godmother for my oldest son and truly good friend. Unfortunately, we lost contact with each other over the years. It breaks my heart that we were not able to reunite before her passing. The memories of all our good times will be with me forever. Sincere sympathies to Judy, Seth and all her family. Bobbi Walsh
