Joan and I became friends in the mid-70s when I was preparing for priesthood. She was a strong support and good friend, besides having wonderfully funny moments. I tried to phone last night (7-29) to find the phone cut off, so guessed what had happened. What a rich life she had. I'm so grateful for the kindness of Barbara and the people of Trinity during these last years. She always knew she had strong loving support.
i have had the privilege of calling Joanie friend since the early 1960's. Joanie was a lady in the true sense of the word. She worked many hours for her church.and was a behind the scenes helper of many. She will be missed The other Joanie.
