Thank you for being such an inspiration Aunt Joan. Your legacy will truly live on with the values you instilled with your children, daughters in law and grandchildren. The love you showed will truly be carried on. Please watch over all of us. We love you!!!

I worked with Joan for a few years in the adult education dept. for JPS. She was a very nice person. May the Lord comfort her family and give them strength through this difficult time.

Such a strong brave woman. I've been inspired by her courageous battle. I'm sure that courage was passed to her family and will get you through her loss. Hugs and prayers.

May Joan rest in peace in God's lovng arms.My deepest sympathy to Tony Kat and family.

I feel very fortunate to have been a close friend of Joan's for 30 years. I will miss her SO MUCH.

I have such fond memories of Joan when she and my Mother worked together. She was certainly a wonderful lady who will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace and my your family be comforted knowing that you are no longer in pain and that you are their special guardian angel.
