John,
I am devastated by Joan's passing. I had no idea of her illness or death until I read the obituary.
As a kid from the Bronx transferring to The Franklin School that freckle face was the first that greeted me. We were inseparable from then on. It was also the first face I saw at my Dad's funeral which sadly was in the same room as Joan's funeral on Thursday. She flew in from Boston shy of 19 years old to be there.
By the time I arrived on Thursday I was told over 350 people were in the main room and when I entered the ante room there were over 150 people there.
My regrets of over close to a decade of separation are insurmountable.
I speak to her now and tell her I miss her and I am sorry.
John, you were always one of my favorite husbands. The last person to deserve this torture.
I mourn along with you and Zach and Erin.
I'll call you in a couple of weeks.
much love,
Adrian

An incredible role model, the most generous caring person. Joan's unique selflessness and ability to care for others will never be forgotten. We feel so fortunate to have had Joan in our lives. We will always be here for John, Erin and Zach. We love you. Love, Mona, Gary, Jojo and Katie

Erin, Zack & Mr. Miller,
Through Erin I have seen Joan, and everyone at MTV is praying for you all, and for her spirit. We saw it on Thursday, the grace and courage you all showed was the most touching thing we've ever encountered. Our hearts go out to you in this time and may you rejoice in her memory.

Dear John, Zach and Erin,
The Tichners and by extension, Feinbergs, Millers and the rest of your magnificent clan have always been the epitome of FAMILY to me. Seeing you all together today at Joan's service, deeply feeling the love you have for one another is a tonic of hope for the world we live in today.
Joani's life raises the bar for the rest of us - to love a bit more, reach out a bit more, give a bit more - be present with each moment of our day, but especially with each person in our lives.
My heart opens to you and all who are dear to you.
With love and respect,
Stephanie Allen (Jane Birnbaum's daughter)

To: John, Zach and Erin,
I am deeply saddened by Joan's passing. She and I went to the Franklin school together. I have many fond memories of her. I can see her standing in her blue and white Courreges dress and white boots in the 60's. A group of us would go to a dance almost every Friday and Saturday night. They were wonderful times. She will be missed. She will never be forgotten.
