Joan was a fierce and positive influence. She was an inspiration to me and many others
When I first started my career in real estate, I was intimidated by her image as a tiny but powerful firecracker. I soon learned that she was smart and kind to me and always helpful.. I'm going to miss being able to see her. She always had great and fair advice for me and, I'm sure many others
Condolences to her loving family.
