David, Eric and family What a wonderful woman Joan was! I greatly admired her career at U of M. She made a significant impact on the lives of many , including me. Beyond that she was so much fun...watching football games together, investment club gatherings, always fun when Joan was with us! I hope you find comfort in your memories...

David & family: I am so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. She was truly a wonderful mentor & friend and the very best professional leader I ever had @UMHS. We had such a close Ambulatory Care Nursing team for many years. I know she loved Charlevoix. The many years you and your family have had there I'm sure has been a blessing to all of you. My thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time of grief. Sincerely, Karolyn B.
