I met Joan in Long Branch well over 20 years ago. We were neighbors. We had many dinners, in our condos, and at restaurants. We watched football, The Kentucky Derby (we all wore hats), and had lots of fun over the years. I just loved her. I will miss her dearly. RIP my friend. I send love and chocolate!
