Read MoreA friend in high school now 50 years ago, Joan was always a positive, happy person. I can't think of her without a smile on her face. I am so sorry to hear she succumbed to cancer; it must have been very difficult for both the family and her many students. May she rest in peace.

How can a person's life be summed up in a few short words or a couple of fleeting memories? It would be impossible to capture the vivid love of life that comes to mind when I think of Joan. We were classmates 50 years ago, and have not kept in touch, but just that name: Joan Danilovich, brings back floods of impressions of a happy girl, surrounded by friends, always up on the latest songs and fashions; of a compassionate person, ready to stand up for causes and to run for office in student...

Joanie went to junior and senior high school with me and was in my wedding. I haven't seen her in years but remember her bubbly personality and pretty smile. John, I remember you as a young boy and I'm sorry for your loss - the last one of your family.

Ms. Danilovich was my favorite teacher at Roosevelt - she always made learning so much fun! Specifically fractions - I recall students bringing in cakes from home, sitting in a group and slicing the cake - first in half, then in quarters and then in eighths. Ms. Danilovich was so creative, warm and caring. I always enjoyed bumping in to her around Burlingame, San Mateo and at the Roosevelt chili cook off - always remembering her former students.

Ms Danilovich was such a wonderful person and really made a difference in my life. She made us all feel happy and took an interest in our lives. I was from an unhappy family background and her cheerfulness made up for that. Because of her, I looked forward to coming to school every day.

I have many fond memories of my 2nd grade experience with Ms. Danilovich. She really made learning fun. I will always remember those great times in her classroom. Francie (Freethy) Perkins

Ms. Danilovich was my Second Grade teacher in 1975. She left a great impression on me and thankfully my mom kept in touch with her all these years. She was friendly, down-to-earth and always so stylish in appearance. I'm glad she isn't suffering any longer.
