Kathy Hestand wrote a sympathy message

“I am so sad to hear of Joan’s passing. So many treasured memories of playing at her house with her kids, Christmases and other celebrations over the years, and the many generous presents she gave over the years as I was Arthur’s goddaughter. One year she knitted a hat and mittens for me and I wore it till it got too small - it was my favorite! I remember her at my First Communion and my wedding, and how genuinely happy for me she was. We all lost a wonderful part of our lives with her passing.”

Lisa McCarthy wrote a sympathy message

“I am very sorry to hear of Joan's death. I will always remember her as wonderful with children and a consummate and talented hostess. I will never forget the Christmas Eve open house she would hold at the Thompson family home at 5 Laurel Hill Lane back when we were children and how excited we were to see all the Christmas lights and partake of her wonderful buffet. We always thought it was so nice of Joan and her husband Arthur to invite us McCarthys to visit with their family.”
