    What a beautiful inspiration Joan was to me. I loved hearing her talk about her family, especially her grandchildren. She truly radiated love. I miss seeing her in the pews at St. Elizabeth Church. Barbara Lynch

    So sorry to hear about your mom, Joanmarie. She seemed in great shape when I met you, and we visited at ESR a few weeks ago. My mother will miss her.

    Extraordinary Joan! A selfless, how can I help person? Amazing energy! We need more Joan-like people in our world. Although she always had a house and a station-wagon FULL of kids, Joan made room for a few and usually many more. Her kindness and generosity extended beyond our neighborhood, our parish, the town of Milton and far beyond to people that she had never met. Let's continue to practice the lessons of kindness, generosity and fun that we learned from Joan!
