Joannie was always so great to talk to, to run into.
I met Harry & Joannie at Joes group in the early 70s. She was sweet, friendly,& loving.
She was very generous with herself. No matter what was going on Joannie always greeted you with her beautiful smile & hugs. Love to you Harry. One of my favorite couples.

How lucky I am to have married into the Rosenberg/Friedman clan! Harry and Joanie--along with all of the cousins--immediately welcomed me, and I sure loved any party with Joanie! She not only immediately gained my admiration with her fabulous hair, makeup, and outfits, but--more importantly--with her warmth which shone through her bright smile and eyes. I will always remember her thoughtfulness in personally calling me in regards to Jonah's Bar Mitzvah this past November, and I will fondly remember that conversation as well as the fun times dancing at all of our family simchas. The CT Rosenbergs send virtual hugs to each and every one of you. It was heartbreaking not to be with you today. We certainly lost a bit of sunshine . . . Sending strength to Harry, Brett, Landon, Robbie and your respective families. Xo, Julie

I did know Joannie but become friends with Harry over the past few years. Joannie was the love of Harry's life and know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Friedman Family.

I did know her but I have become friends with Harry over the past several years. I know she was the love of Harry's life and just wanted to send my best to Harry and his entire family. She will be great missed by all.

Joannie is one of my favorite relatives, and I am so saddened by her premature passing. Much love to Harry, Robbie, Brett, Landon and families and I hope to share some of my fonder memories with you when you're ready. Joannie valiantly tried to help me look more stylish (it didn't work but that was my fault not hers), and I had hoped we could talk more about the SNOOP sisters sometime. Isaac and I will continue to keep her memory alive.
