Joan was a beautiful woman with a heart of gold. She was a wonderful Grandma to my son Leo. When they were together it was like two peas in a pod, almost as if they had their own unique communication. They had tremendous love for one another. She was truly one of a kind and I will miss her so much! Love you Joan!!!
