Cheryl and Doug,

I am very sorry to hear about your mother's passing, especially in such unexpected circumstances. My prayers are with you and your families in your time of loss. May her soul rest in peace.

Compassionate, intelligent, generous, feisty Joan. I really can’t believe you have passed but am glad you have reunited with Herb so that you might both re establish the unique communication style you shared. The world is a sadder place without you in it. A good friend through and through. Cheryl and Doug I am confident you both know how great both your parents were and all that they offered their community. Such a loss. I’m hopeful their memories will offer you comfort.

Dear Cheryl. Your mom was SO fine!! She ensured that those of us working with the children she fostered did our BEST for them. Joan made us accountable: demanding and straight up!! I am sorry for your loss. You have been blessed to have such a fine woman in your life.

I am really saddened by the loss of my good friend Joan. May she rest in peace.

Love, Anne

Dear Joan's family.

I'm deeply saddened by this news. Joan was such a sweet soul and an amazing person.

It was always such a joy to see her out in the neighborhood and to converse with on the phone. She will truly be missed here and our neighborhood won't be the same without her.

My sincere and deepest condolences to her family.

Yours truly

Karin.
