Our condolences to all of Joan's family. We do not get a paper so did not learn of her passing before.
I had the pleasure of knowing Joan best while a member of the Monday Club although I have known Joan for many years, and she was such a lovely person.

Joan was such a beautiful, quiet presence even if she was mad at us because Bets and I had snuck out the night before. What an awesome role model she was for me.
