I also worked with Joan at Ace.  She was a great person to know.  Joan was a hard worker with a mischievous sense of humor.  One of the things I'll remember most about Joan is her creative handiwork.  I have many of her towels and other things she created.  Every holiday, I think of her as I set out these items. Please accept my condolences for your loss. I know you will miss her, but know that she loved you all very much.

To my cousin daughter Theresa and Aunt Joyce the passing of your Mom Theresa and your big sister Joyce my dear cousin Joan will be always in my prayers,thoughts. I always told Joan if I was to depart first promise me that you will come at least a couple of times a year to visit me. Naturally she said yes and I told her to wear her Red & White Ba-Bush-Ka in the event the weather is bad or foggey I will be able to spot her. Joan will be watching over all of us now and this special Angel will be missed by all her Family and dear friends. Cousin Bob Lozanski,Las Vegas NV.

I will always remember the memories I have along with my brother Bob growing up together as cousins. Also it was a tradition that Joan, Joyce and I went to the same high school together. She was a very sweet cousin. My prayers will be with her daughter, sister and family.

I worked with Joan at Ace. Everyone misses the holiday towels. She was a very nice person and I am glad to have known her. Take care.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Joan was a great Co-Worker here at Ace. My fondest memory of Joan was always calling her the "Cookie Monster". She always had a bag of cookies every morning on her desk. There wasn't a day that went by that Joan did not have her cookies and coffee on her desk. She will be missed dearly by everyone that knew Joan here at Ace!
