Joan became a “sister” to me when she and my brother Harry married. She was someone who cherished family; she loved becoming “Auntie Joanie” to Joe’s & my six children. We have many fond memories of this beautiful smiling lady! Joan was strong of character, unwavering in Faith and unbelievably loyal.
Her welcome into Heaven must have been quite a celebration!
