Just learned of Joan’s passing in June. So very sorry to hear this. She was my neighbor and friend for many, many years until I moved in the late 1990’s. She was a very kind lady and very talented. I remember our get together especially New Year’s Eve with her family. My deepest sympathy goes out to her husband Mike and her sons and their families. Rest In Peace Joan Stacey Kassar
