Frank and family--I was so sad to receive the call from my mother that Joan had passed away. She was a truly remarkable woman and I was proud to have her as my godmother. She never forgot a birthday, a special occasion, a message sent through my parents to check on me, or just a simple note, no matter where in the country I was. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Joan made the world a much better place and she will be missed. With much love, Maureen
