Dear Louise, David, and Don,
Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. As one of the strongest and most faithful persons we could hope to know, Aunt Joan was instrumental in guiding me through the illness and impending deaths of Chris’ mother and father, Julie and Tony; after all, who could better help me learn the dynamics of the DiPota/Lamendola family but Julie’s sister. Your mother was an inspiration in so many ways. God’s speed, Aunt Joan. You will be greatly missed!
God’s Grace and Peace,
Chris and Lori

To Joan's family -
I'm remembering and most thankful for Joan's volunteer work at Sts. Peter & Paul Church in the late 60 - 70's. My daughter Kathy was one of the young girls that Joan mentored in her warm, caring manner and always with her big, wonderful smile at the difficult time of my marriage break up.
God's speed to Joan to her heavenly home.
