Joan Marie Tomassilli

Joan, what a great Lady you were in every sense of the word. Great daughter who took care of your parents. Great sister who took care of your siblings, including my father-in-law John. Great wife to Tony and wonderful mother who raised three wonderful daughters. The true matriarch of your family. You showed incredible strength and fought through so many battles of health, especially later in life. I will miss our chats together at every Gruden event, which were always peppered with what I...

From college to now. It was a long, wonderful friendship filled with many memorable events, letters and telephone calls. So much was shared! Joan was the epitome of what it was to have a friend. Loving, kind, generous and true. I thank you Anna for being able to share this time with you and be a participant in this final event. Blessings to you all.

My heart-felt condolences go out to the Tomassilli family. I never knew Joan but felt as though I did through priceless stories passed on by Patty and Tom. What a wonderful life she lived and such a great family that she raised. May she rest in eternal peace...

Mrs T....my first Italian dinner when I was in college with Anna! What a wonderful memory. I still can't believe we got roast beef after the pasta! Please hug Tony for me until we meet again! My love and prayers for your wonderful family!

You were a special lady who raised three lovely woman. May you rest in peace with your Lord.

Dear Anna and family,
I am so saddened by your loss. God’s blessings to you

Dear Anna and family,

ed, she said to me, "Bob, do you want to be a wall flower at your school dances, or do you want all the girls wanting to dance with you?" My answer was, I wanted to dance! Well, my sister took to teaching me and we enjoyed many good laughs over being called, "Twinkle Toes"! I will miss my sister Joan!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. You were the glue that held those around you together. It's time for your body to sleep. Your Spirit is with God and I pray you meet up with Tony your husband and my friend. He was like a Dad to me. Once after my Mom passed I asked if I could call you Mom and you said Yes. It's been about 10 years since we talked and it was because I butt dialed your number and you called me back and chewed me out for calling you...
