My sympathy to Joan's family. I had the privilege of working with Joan during the time she was involved with the Nursing Program at Kishwaukee College and while I served as Secretary for the Nursing Program. She was a delightful person to know and work with. She was so caring and thoughtful. She will certainly be missed. Her family should be proud of her many accomplishments and contributions to nursing and healthcare.
