I am saddened by the loss of your dear wife, sister, mother, aunt and Boova Joan. She had a good sense of humor and a marvelous laugh, whether she got the joke or not. She was a true patron of the arts - music, film and painting. She was curious, boisterous in life, a foodie before it was fashionable. My heart is with you during this difficult time. Remember her with compassion and a smile.
