    We were so sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. We enjoyed the many visits that she made to Liz’s house in Massachusetts. We always got together and had great talks and Laughs. We always called her Joanie and upon her arrival we were always very excited to see her latest new Pocket Book, she really was a trend setter. She will be
    forever remembered in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers to her family.

    I will always remember Aunt Joan for being fashionable and fun to be around. All those summers at Aunt Gail and Uncle Bob’s house where we couldn’t wait to see the latest fashionable bathing ensemble. Aunt Joan was always so sweet I will miss her. The last time I saw her was at the restaurant with Sam, Tracy and Aunt Linda. Lots of good memories. Xox, Joanie
