May you find comfort by reflecting on the promises of God found in his word the Bible concerning the hope of seeing your Mother again and living with her in a world without tears where sickness and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:4)

Ms Joan will be so missed, our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends. We know it's been what seems like a lifetime since we spoke but we shall never forget how she loved people and working with the public. She was the best PR any business had on their team. We always enjoyed hearing about her girls, Joesepie and simple day to day trials she'd endure trying to please some of the most difficult clients on or before the Thursday deadlines. She had a nak for details and had your best interest at heart. Her sense of humor was so unpredictable, she would always make us laugh. We hope that a small reflection on how we remember Ms Joan will somehow comfort you and keep you during this diffucult time. She will be truly missed. Love Joe , Maria Cianci and Family.

She was an interesting person and fun to be with, always anxious to get on with the next project whether it be art, photography, house decorating, or gardening. I remember when she turned a house in Eldersburg into a thing of beauty, inside and out. Yes, she was a person of many talents who was always willing to share advice and, no doubt, there will be many people who will miss her now.
While your days without Joan may be difficult, I hope that your fond memories and the closeness you shared with her will bring you comfort.
