Joanne was a good friend to me and my children, and I was devastated to hear of her passing. During the last few months of her life, I often could not reach her as she was sometimes moved to a different facility and since I was not a relative, the caretakers weren't allowed to give out information. Joanne was brave and funny and a very smart, as some of you mentioned. I would like very much to contact friends who knew her growing up; that's why I renewed this guest book. I hope some of you will contact me. Molly McKay

Joanne was a member of our graduating class at Oliver Ames High School in Easton. I will always remember her as a quiet but lovely human being. We lived around the corner from one another so we walked to school together occasionally. She was in a lot of my business courses and she was always at the top of the class. So very bright!
My classmates and I send our deepest condolences to you Ken. May your wonderful memories of good times together bring you solace.

Dear Ken, I am sorry to hear about Joanne's passing. I knew Joanne when she lived in Abington with Sharon and Kathy. They all live with my grandmother Mrs. Naughton. We spend many summer's together. My thoughts and prayers are with one at this time.
