Joan E. Metz

Dear Jean,
My heart is with you - a sister is a part of you and you are just sure you'll be settin' on the front porch somewhere sunny in your later years. When Judy died last year my pastor just kept telling me, "Feel the love, Mo." As strong as my faith is, his advice broke through the pain and I was able to see the love for Judy, and for my family. Judging from this guestbook, you all are very loved and the love expressed for Joanie cannot be measured. Our love to you, John and Michael,...

Jean, Family & Friends,
My deepest regrets for one of our fallen. Some of my fondest memories are from my High School days with Joan & our sorority sisters. Those were times of great and lasting friendships. She will be missed.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I only yesterday heard of Joan's passing. I was a student of Joan's graduating from East in 1970. She was my mentor.

DEAR JOAN METZ FAMILY,
WAS SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. MS. METZ WAS ONE OF MY PE INSTRUCTORS @ WSWHS, BACK IN 1967-69.
AN OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL!
A GREAT MENTOR, & A CARING & ALWAYS ENCOURAGING PERSON!
IT BROKE MY HEART TO HEAR SHE IS GONE. I HOLD MANY FOND MEMORIES OF TRACK, FIELDHOCKEY, & SWIM TEAM EVENTS.
MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY. MAY GOD KEEP HER, TILL WE ALL MEET AGAIN!

I will always remember her smiling face and great sense of humor. She will be deeply missed.

Dear Jean and Family:

I am sorry to learn of Joan's death. My "vintage" photo album still has a picture of the two of you, me, Connie C and Lynn Ames at a birthday party [age 6] at what is now a church. ---That's when we all lived in the "country" out beyond Youngs Road. Joan was always a torpedo of energy! I know she'll be sorely missed and happily loved and remembered.

I first met Joan when we were 9 years old and we have been friends ever since. She was one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met. I cannot imagine what my life would have been without her. I am going to miss her very, very much. My prayers are with her family, especially Jean.

Memories of Joan: First meeting when Joan taught at East Elementary. Great colleague and friend. Sharing the athletic fields at East Seneca for many years. All those ARO meetings. Picnic at her home out by her pool. Grilling hot dogs at our retired teachers "Wood Group" picnics. Using her shrill whistle to get the attention of 60 plus retired women teachers. Summer gatherings out at Rushford Lake at Sandi, Lynda and Kathy's place.

It has been a long,long time. But I will always remember the smile and vigor of the Metz twins.My sympathy to all family members.
