I am fortunate to have talked to Joan a few months ago on the phone while visiting Phyllis.
Joan was a beautiful person - fun loving,thoughtful,gregarious, and unassuming. It is a great loss for those who knew her - knowing they will not see or speak to her again.##imported-begin##Teri Smyth##imported-end##

Paul,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. I worked with Joan when I worked at Knight Ridder. A wonderful person, friendly, always looking to lend a hand. I know she is in heaven with the angels.

To Phyllis and all your family: I remember the few times with Joan. She was a delightful, warm, and funny person. Light hearted. I hope your family will be restored to that light heart as the years pass and your grief is less heavy.
Be well. Lucille##imported-begin##Lucille Magnus##imported-end##
