I met Joan when I was in freshman in High School and I got to know her family because she knew I had no family when I moved to the US and I was always welcomed to her gorgeous house and her wonderful family. Amazing lady she was and always worried and helping the less fortunate. She and Richard Jones will always be in my heart! Simply amazing human beings!

I had the honor of knowing Joan for about 28 years and she taught me the meaning of true friendship and unconditional love. She was a GRAND lady that I am going to miss a lot.
