I am so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. As a former Boston Police Officer, I was blessed to have worked so closely with Joan, on a daily basis. She was extremely kind and compassionate. The City of Boston was very fortunate to have someone so dedicated to their work. Joan, you are a gem that will continue to shine in the eyes of those who knew your beauty. God Bless!
