Dearest Kim and Joe, We were so sad to hear about Joan. She was a lovely person and always had great fun together. Our thoughts are with you all.

I am so sad to hear about Joan. I remember her so well growing up. She was our favorite babysitter and was always so friendly and happy to see us. She had so many wonderful qualities and talents but mostly just a warm and lovely person!

My memory of Joan, from her time working with my father treating the sometimes flood of ski injuries, is that she was not only competent but made the experiences for all much more pleasant that it otherwise might have been. Sad to learn of her passing. Our family extends our condolences.

Kim and Joseph sorry for the loss of your mother. i was at BBS a year ahead of your mom. Years later see her many time at Equinox Golf Club. your mom and my sister Ann played a lot of Golf Tourneys together. RIP JOANIE HAROLD (chub ) and Betty Waters
