I miss you Aunt Joan. My thoughts and prayers go out to Rick, Bobby and Joan Marie. And all of their families. I will never forget all of our trips to New Rochelle to visit Aunt Joan and Uncle Richard and the kids. Those were great times. One trip that really stands out is the year we drove up to New Rochelle on Easter and it took us one hour to go the 1 mile from the highway to the George Washington bridge. The traffic was so bad. I love you all. Your cousin Joan Marie
