Dear family of Joann Kowalski,
My deepest sympathy to you on the tragic passing of Joann. I met your sister many years ago (early 1980's) at the Erie Day School when she was the speech pathologist to the elementary grade students. She was a wonderful asset to the EDS faculty as well as an enrichment to the many students. Our love and prayers to her family and to her dear friend, Joe Walczak. With love and prayers,
Friends of Erie Day School

My deepest sympapthy to Joe, Joann's mother and her brothers.
Joann and my sister Denise were friends since high school. I live near Boston but whenever I went back to Erie with my husband to visit family, Joann would stop at my mother's house and stay and chat with us. She was the nicest person! I will miss her visits.
May you find peace in all of the good memories you have of Joann.
