Susie I was so sorry to hear your Mom passed away. I always liked talking to her whenever I met her. You are in my thoughts and prayers. She will truly be missed by all who knew her.
I went to grade school with Joan's Daughter Sue. We graduated 8th grade in 1974. Joan was always a sweet lady.
God Bless Joan! A great Lady and "Neighborhood Mom", when I was growing up playing basketball in the driveway with Denny. In her later years, always had a beautiful Smile and made sure we had a good conversation when we would bump into each other. My condolences to all of Joans' Family. She has left behind countless great memories!
Love, Mike Fittante
Celebrating your life and all the wonderful memories you have left us with. God bless you Joan. Love, Christin and Don Nowinski
