For it is in giving -- I have kept all the years of her hand-made Christmas cards -- that we receive -- and always read all the Christmas cards from many friends that kept in touch with her across decades. All her friends had a true and caring friend, an incredible woman, a dearly beloved mom. It is in pardoning -- she never held a grudge, but could get into stupid fights -- that we are pardoned -- forgive me mom for the times when I did not honor you, when I was unkind to you. And it is dying that we are born to external life. How long, God, how long?

I've always dreaded this moment that I would lose another sister, Joan. But I suppose I've always known such a day would come. The day when my heart feels like it is breaking over such a lost of sister. Frankly I do not pretend to understand the mysteries of life nor death. But I do understand the passing of time, and the inability to reverse the string of events that we are now facing at this moment. My mind tells me to be relieved for you, that you are in a far better place: a place without fear and pain. A place of eternal calmness and happiness. You left us as you had lived : a life of courage, strength and compassion. You loved wholeheartedly and in turn you were loved unconditionally. As French say: ”Tu me manques” which means “You are missing from me.” And now much older, much wiser, I am just beginning to realize its full meaning. But what I do know is I love you, Joan, sorry I never said or demonstrated it enough!

Joan will forever live in our memories as an avid hiker, a passionate gardener, cheese maker, expert cook, but most of all as a very good friend. We’ll all miss your always welcoming smile.

We received the news of Joan’s passing with very heavy hearts. How lucky we are, to have had Joan as a friend! She infused every get -together with her passionate spirit; conversation was always entertaining and meaningful, as she shared her views, philosophy and wisdom on life and times. What a treat to be a guest at Joan and Elmer’s table enjoying homemade bread, cheese, dried persimmons, and mushrooms we had never heard of, to name just a few of the delicacies! Joan gave gifts that keep giving, like mentoring Juergen through the art and science of baking breads. Dear Joan, we thank you for being such a wonderful friend, and honor your lovely spirit, which we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Love, Joan and Juergen

Dearest Joan: My heart is aching and my eyes are full of tears, knowing that I will never receive the welcomed flood of phone calls again regarding our lively chats on an array of recipes and decorating tips, and now in hindsight I should have let you discuss politics- you were so passionate about and yet you honored our pact. You will always be in my daily thoughts. To my wonderful, talented sister...Goodbye. Rest In Peace. God Bless You! With Love, Frieda

I had the pleasure of doing Joans hair for many years. I was happy when I saw her name on my schedule. Joan always had a big smile, inspiring thoughts and wise words. She always came with some delicious treat. Joans bread, jam and recently zucchini relish were all amazing. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I was able to share the printmaking studio with Joan at PCC. She was such a pleasure to be around and will be dearly missed. Her art and mind were an inspiration to us.

Joan an accomplished Renaissance woman! It, however, will not be the accomplishments that we will remember you by but the love, enthusiasm, and joy you brought to them and those around you. My neighbor, my friend, my sister of the heart I will miss our enthusiastic conversations and joy when ever we visited each other. It was as if not a moment passed between each visit. The earth moves a little slower without your boundless energy! I will miss you!

What a joy Joan was to be around. Her laughter and smile were simply infectious. She felt instantly like an old friend (maybe because we were both New Yorkers, loved calligraphy, loved printmaking....), even though I was just beginning to know her. A bundle of her calligraphy pens came my way. I have marked the container "Joanie's Pens." They will be cherished, as precious as that incandescent smile.

Joan and I shared many days in Tai Chi class and laughed and joked together. I was ill in the spring so did not know anything about Jean except that she wasn't in class this fall and I e-mailed her. She was always concerned about me and very helpful. We are the same age and often compared notes. She is greatly missed. My condolences to her family.

I just today heard about Joan passing on. I an so sorry that no one told me sooner because I would have been at her service to honor her. I worked for many years with Joan at PCC. I was the Admin Asst in the Math department for about 24 years and Joan was always one of my favorite people. My heartfelt condolences to the family... Joan was one in a million.
