I met Joan while working at BGSU student union. We've kept in touch all of these years. My heart goes out to her family at this time. I have many great memories of our laughs and conversations in the past several years. I will miss her.

We spent many weekends with Joan & Tim at SamBs restaurant. We went to an adult Prom with them. We loved Joan! We reached out to her after Tim died but she never called back. We will treasure those memories. Connie & Al DiPuccio
