Joan was a wonderful example of Christian commitment. She lived a dedicated life of Roman Catholicism and expanded it to lifelong profession as a lay member of the Dominican religious order ( formerly called "Third order"). She served as an officer in her local chapter and also at the Provincial level. She was an example of faithfulness and holiness to all of us in her lay Dominican chapter. We will miss our beloved sister in Christ but count on her intercession for us going forward.

Mrs. Burke has been such an important person in our lives. I will miss her infectious laughter at family gatherings. I can only imagine the delight my mom must be feeling at seeing her dear friend again. Heaven will never be the same. Miss you dearly. Our deepest sympathy to the Burke family. God bless.
