“Joan lived by Christ's commandment to "Love thy neighbor." How blessed I was to be the "downstairs neighbor" of Joan and Dan in Lido Beach for so many years! I will remember Joan always with a full and grateful heart.”

“I am so very sorry for your loss. Joan was an extraordinary person. Always kind. Always smiling. In many ways she nurtured all of us. We worked together at Mercy for 11 years. Every Christmas I smile thinking about her as I put the Christmas ornaments on my tree....50 years of enjoying the ornaments she gifted. She made my daughter the most beautiful blanket. Each square was a different pattern. I cherish it along my memories of her. My life was enriched by your mom. eileen uihlein donohue”
