Joan and I grew up together on wingohocking st in Phila,pa. I looked up to Joan as she was like an older sister and we spent many happy times together as kids and teens. I will miss Joan and regret not reconnecting with her in later years in life. My love and prayers go out to her family.

• Joanie Had the kindest heart and the best sense of humor she could make you smile in the darkest of times. She treated me like her family and to me she was my family. I am grateful for every moment spent with her. She was such a loyal friend and her love never failed. Rest in peace my dear friend, I'll see you on the other side. I love you
