To Joan's family,
I joined Sacred Heart School as Director of Finance and Administration shortly before your dad's passing, and it was the best employment decision I ever made. Joan was the best boss ever--sweet, tough, compassionate, understanding, supportive, congenial, fair, along with being the consummate professional educational administrator and leader. The school thrived under her leadership. I cannot say enough about how she supported me in my professional and personal life. She was my boss, but she was also my friend--a rare combination. For me, the job and the school were never the same after your mom's illness. I missed her so much. I still do.
My sincere condolences on her passing. She has joined her beloved Peter, and if I know Joan, they will be dancing through their afterlife, and looking down on all of their loved ones with pride and joy.
