Woody, Peter and Eric:
Joan was a force of nature, a genius of many arts and a seminal figure in my life. She gave unflinchingly of her love, her talent and her wicked, wicked sense of humor. My life as a woman, a mother, a professional and yes, a New Yorker, was made richer, livelier and more connected because of her. I love all of you.
