Dear Glenn and Bridget,
I am so sorry to have just learned of your loss.
I very fondly remember the old Marshall Field group of friends, and especially Joan, who always made me feel welcome.
This group was like family to me.
Joan will be deeply missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Best wishes,

Dear Glenn & Bridget ~ Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as we mourn the lost of your wife, mother and my dear friend. Joanie and I became instant friends from the moment we met...she was just the sort of person that once you met her you thought you'd known her for years. I'll always remember our time together and our long telephone conversations. May she rest in peace and know that she will be missed by all who knew her.

There are no words to express my deepest symphathy for Joanie's passing. I am forever grateful for the many heartwarming memories we shared and will treasure them always. Joanie blessed everyone's life she encountered with her happy, kind and generous personality. Her smile and warm laughter brought so much happiness to all who knew her. She was so many things...fun, loyal, appreciative...all things that made us all better for the blessing of knowing her. She was simply, "The Best of the Best!

Once you met Joanie you knew that you had met a truly caring and loving person. Working with her at Continental for over 15 years was a joy and we shared more than a few laughs along the way. She took pride and found strength in her faith.....I'm sure God has found a special place for her. Our thoughts and prayer are with her family and many friends.
