Joan,I miss you, your hugs, your wonderful smile and the way you would scrunch up your nose. It was a joy to be your hairstylist. I will never forget how you made me laugh when you would ask me “how much longer” and to give you a new style but not to cut off too much of your hair. Most of all I will never forget how you would say my name and cheer me up. You are close to my heart and I miss you so much.
Love you always

Joan, I am so happy we got to sit down and talk to each other a few times in the past few years. If there is one thing I know for sure, it is that you loved and adored your daughter. I remember your playful little eye rolls and expressive eyebrows that both you and Robin have. Even when you were cross at each other, you would eventually make each other laugh and then you would smirk at each other with a funny face and let it go. I can still hear the various ways you said Robin's name echoing in my head.
We will take good care of Robin and we will be there for her. Hope you have found peace.
You were much loved,
Cathy

Joan,
I will always remember our conversations at your dinning table when I was younger. We definitely had some laughs but mostly we shared our connection and love for Robin. You will be missed. Rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am a UPS driver and knew Joanne for many years. Joanie is what I called her and she was the sweetheart of the neighborhood. I loved her unforgettable laugh. I will miss her and never forget her.
