She took some of us to our first Buffalo Bills and Sabres games, nurturing our love for Buffalo sports teams. Memories that will last a life time. I wish she could have made it to Ireland like we talked about. A life cut too short. Thank you Aunt Joan for being so good to all of us.

Joan always put everyone else's needs before her own. She was a role model for all in so many ways. There is no doubt God has a special place for her in heaven.

Joan was a good friend of my Father and I saw her only a few times, yet she embraced me as a part of the group of great friends who played cards and just had a great time together. She would always bring me and my sisters a plate of her delicious baked goods and candies every Christmas that I would come to visit. Joan is a wonderful soul and will be deeply missed by all!

I never met Joan, but knew of her from our mutual friend, Anne Dill. I do know that Joan was a dear and holy woman and friend and her sudden passing was a shock to many. From the comments of those who knew her I know that Joan will be greatly missed. May she rest in the Peace of the Lord.
