Dear John and Family,
Please accept our sincere heartfelt condolences at this sad time. May your precious memories of a wonderful Wife, Mom and Grandmother comfort you today and in the days to follow.
We will surely miss our weekly encounters at Agostino's too. Always a smile and great conversations about families- especially the "Grandkids" and their soccer. I think there may have been a few about real estate too with Joan and Dick.
Joan will be missed by all that had the privilege of knowing her.

Joan was an amazing peron. She would always be cheering on Nicole and Carly and John in every game. Our soccer team called her our soccer grandma and she will always hold a place in every single one of our hearts. We love her all dearly and we wish the best for her family.

Dear Judy, Patty and the Hines family. Back in the E. Natick days and the Lilja Elementary. I remember Joanie as the Little sister, and perhaps little princess of the Fitzpatrick Family. I'm sure your hearts are broken. May wonderful memories of family times sustain you in this time of loss. Ginny Etheridge Littlefield

Never without a smile and a joke, Joan was always a joy to be around. There was always laughter when Joan was present.

Her kindness to us was ever more generous than expected, for which we are grateful.

John, Girls, the loss of Joan is grievous; please take some comfort from the knowledge that she will be most fondly remembered by all who knew her, and greatly missed.
