Gentle Rest, Joan.

    I grew up with Joan in Brooklyn and remember the day we first met on Ainslie Street. I have fond memories of our many years of friendship and think of Joan often. I will always remember her sense of humor and compassion for others. She died a hero and I believe she is in a peaceful place. I will always keep her family in my prayers.
