“Remembering Joan, a friendship since 1951 as dorm mates at Montclair Teachers College. A long and caring relationship challenged only by distance and aging. From Teaneck , NJ to Allentown , Pa. we found time to connect. Our last call not long ago in their new move Our MSTC bond as dorm mates is forever. Joan's smile and beautiful spirit will always be remembered. Her love for John was born there and went on for all these years. My heart goes out to him and to all in this loss. . COR”
