A beautiful tribute to a beautiful life well lived. I was sorry to learn of Joan's passing. We were classmates at St. Emydius Grammer School and Mercy High School. I enjoyed birthday parties on Borica St. and the other classmate's homes nearby. Joan is now at peace with the Divine. Many blessings to Joan's family.
