I am so sorry to hear about Joanie's passing! Joan was a wonderful person and a caring nurse. Joan had a positive impact on all she met. I am glad she is not suffering anymore.

I am so sorry to hear of Joan's passing . I worked with her at NYU Medical Center and she was an inspiration.A wonderful nurse and mentor. I ran into her a few times over the years . My deepest sympathy to her family.

I am so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. Joan was I were graduates of St. Clare's School of Nursing Class of 1976. She was bright, involved, funny, kind, compassionate and dedicated. She was our class officer and the glue that held us together.
Joan touched many lives through support and advocacy, helping others navigate the complex and harsh roller coaster of cancer. I am sure she was a blessing to many others on their journeys.
Sweet Joanie….May a choir of angels come to greet...

I had the privilege of attending St. Clare's with Joan. So sorry for your loss.

Dear Ted and family,
Your Mom was so sweet to me when I first came to Union School. She was welcoming and made me feel as if I belonged. Her smiling face at all the activities we attended was something I looked forward to. Her openness and ability to share is a true inspiration. If she had a bad day it wasn't something she expressed in her every day living.
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. What a beautiful legacy she left in her children.
