“I am so sorry to hear about Joan's passing. Living together in college, I got to know Joanie in a way that only roommates do - our late-night conversations, shared laughter, and the everyday moments that made life richer. She was always kind, funny, and supportive, and I will cherish the memories we made. Sending our deepest condolences to the family.”
