Dear Family and Friends,
From: Lisa and Bianca DiNapoli Blanche Valentino (in spirit)

Bianca and I heartwarming think of Joan heartwarmingly. We would call
Joan (Joanie). We have wonderful memories of Joanie as her loving and
radiant smile will always be remembered graciously. Her thoughtfulness,
love of life, sense of humor and passion of life will always be remembered
fondly.
Our loving precious mother, Blanche would echo our warm sentiments of
Joanie as she very much enjoyed Joanie.
NOTE: I speak of Mother spiritually as we lost loving Mother on Jun 21, 2017.

Bianca and I will always remember Joanie most fondy.

To the family of Joan Sibella O'Connor:

My mother, Blanche, my sister Bianca, myself Lisa, and our precious beloved Dad, Toby, have wonderful memories of
Joan. Joan always had a smile to share
with you and she was most giving of herself.

Blanche, Bianca,Toby and me, had the pleasure of rekindling a friendship
with Joan about 16 years ago as we invited her to our home in 1995 for dinner. Joan looked wonderful and
her lovely eyes were radiant and it
felt as though the years had not gone
by. Joan was wonderful company.

My mother, Blanche, my sister, Bianca nd I visited with Joan about three years ago as we were in Wollaston acro and we called her up to say hello and asked to see her as we enjoyed her company and her warmhearted love of
life.
Joan did not hesitate as she walked to
the popular fish restaurant across from the beach we were eating at. Joan joined us for a warm and friendly conversation.

May your family find comfort in your
beautiful memories of Joan and may you
cherish these memories always as you
reflect.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Mother fondly remembers
the family and siblings.
Joan would tell us memorable stories about her family and her visits to Las
Vegas Nevada to visit family and nieces, etc... during the holiday season and other special occasions. She
beamed as her stories unfolded.

We will always remember Joan, kindly and fondly. Our heartfelt thoughts and
prayers are with you.

Fondly,

Blanche, Lisa and Bianca DiNapoli
