Read MoreI just heard of Joan's passing. Joan and I went to law school together and we were pregnant at the same time in law school. I knew she was sick and my thoughts have been with her. She was a great friend and support in law school and when my infant son died. I will always appreciate her friendship.. My thoughts are with her family.

Dear Joan,
Thinking of you everyday but especially on Mothers Day. Wish you could be here to see what beautiful and loving mothers you raised in your daughters! They are strong, smart, and loving just like YOU! But of course you can see and know that up there in paradise. They are special and beautiful women! I LOVE and MISS YOU

Dear Murphy Family,
My brother, Jim, told me of Joan's passing. Please accept my sympathies. I have wonderful memories of Winton Avenue and Grandma Brennan. Joan and I used to play "doctor and patient" and of course I was the patient. She gave me shots with a pencil!! What a great person.
Fondly,

Dear Mike and family, Please accept my heartfelt prayers as I recently learned of Joan's passing. Thinking of her brings a huge smile to my face and a great burst of laughter from my heart. She was a rare and beautiful gift to all who crossed her path. Her spirit lives on in all of us. May the the Holy Spirit be with you on this journey.
Peace,

I ran into a friend from law school today, C-M '81, who works at the Cleveland Municipal Court. I had long known Joan had become ill but asked how she was and learned of her passing, I had missed it. I worked with Joan at the Cleveland Law Department, sweet, lovable person and fine attorney. Once I appeared before her on a ticket and played it straight, waiving a reading of the charge, entering a no contest plea, and apologizing. I'll always remember her suppressing laughter behind that sweet...
