Dear Nancy and Family,
I'm sorry to hear about Joan's passing. I lost my sister a little over a year ago and know how deep a loss this is. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Nancy & daughters: Your sister/aunt was a good woman who I had the pleasure of knowing for many years at St.Mary's. Joan always had a smile and not a complaint even when she was having a rough time. I'm so sorry I was unable to go to her Funeral Mass on Saturday, but know that she and you are in my thoughts & prayers. She will be missed, but is at peace & pain free.

Dear Nancy and girls,
I am so sorry to hear that Joanie passed away so suddenly. I had hopes of visiting her on Sat at the Chester facility and now I will be visiting my best friend of many years on Saturday in a much different situation. There are no words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss and I thank you all for letting me feel like part of the family for many years. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. She is now free of pain and suffering.

Nancy and family,
We last saw Joan at our 50th high school class reunion and she looked just as she did at graduation. We have all been remembering her in our prayers and are so sorry to hear the sad news of her passing. On behalf of Portland High School, class of 1962, please accept our most sincere sympathy. Joan will be sorely missed.

Dear Nancy and Girls, I am very saddened to hear about Joanie's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of our days at Seton Hill and of the times I spent visiting your family in Ct. during school and then with Tom and our kids a few years later. I know how much she doted on you girls. Her letters were always filled with your doings. I know how much she loved you and how much she felt your love in return. May you all be at peace with that knowledge and knowing she is now in the arms of her loving parents. God bless you all.
