Being an only child growing up I couldn't wait for Joan and Family to visit Aunt Agnes. After playing football all day long we would always have food and snacks waiting for us. I was fortunate to have seen Joan last year during a visit to R.I and to no surprise the entire time she was trying to feed me while catching up on our family news. She will be missed. Love to David Stephen Michael Eric and your families.

We couldn't have asked for a better neighbor for all these years. Joan was wonderful to have next door. We'd both touch base with travel plans, chat about life, share soups when one of us was under the weather. We will miss her very much.

To Joan and Dave’s Family
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing, as sorry as I was when your dad died. I knew both of them through the principals’ organization. I thought highly of both of them, and had a nice friendship with Joan after your dad passed. May God bless you and grace you as you grieve the loss of a great lady.
