I worked with her when she  was director of discharge planning at Coney Island Hospital.  Always smiling, easy to work with, loved what she did.  She ran a efficient department realizing she got more from her staff by being pleasant than by carrying a stick.  Lovely lady.

Dear Grandma,

I will always treasure the memories I have with you. You were a devoted mother and grandmother and you always had the greatest words of wisdom. I’ll forever remember the last time we spoke and how happy you were. May you rest peacefully with our loved ones up above. I love you 

Love, 
Gina 

My deepest condolences to all of you.
Your tribute to her is awesome!
She was always so kind to me, as was her husband, Jim.
I will never forget her and I mourn her passing.
She had so much love from all of you and gave it in return.
A very remarkable woman!!
Love to all,
Mattie

Our family has many wonderful memories of Aunt Joan.  She was a wonderful person. She was kind, caring and thoughtful.  Were are so happy that our Uncle Jim had such a loving and caring wife.

Our condolences to her family.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Jim, Christine and Brendan Meece

Just heard about Joan getting her wings.  I worked for her in the 1980's at Coney Island Hospital, Discharge Planning.  Joan was always concerned about providing the best possible care for patients being discharged to their homes or to skilled nursing facilities.  A wonderful boss, kind considerate and always smiling.  She made that department a family affair for all of us.  Her place in heaven is assured.  God rest you, Joan and breathe easy.  Cathy Berntsen

I will miss speaking to you and seeing you, but I know you are with me always. Last time we spoke, you mentioned how much you missed Grandpa Jim. I hope you are with him now and I feel you here with me always. I love & miss you so much. I hope I continue to make you proud. 

My condolences to Joan's family. She was a great mentor to me when I joined the CIH family.  We worked well together and shared many good times together. She was a person of great faith as was her husband Jim. I believe that is what eased her suffering over the years. Rest in peace dear friend. 
 Love,   
Tina 

I'll always miss the good times we had together and the wisdom you shared with me. Give Grandpa a hug for me.

A mother's love cannot be replaced. My heart is broken, but I will carry your love, kindness and sincerity with me for all the days of my life. You taught me so much through the years and am so happy to say I am your daughter.  May you rest in peace and spend all of eternity with our loved ones.


You were more like a mother to me than an in-law! Your wisdom and guidance have helped not just John and me but the whole family. We love and miss you !
                                       Cheers to you,
                                                      Caroline 

So grateful to have been blessed with the best mother in law ever. You were one in a million and will be dearly missed.

Shine on, Mom -- your presence I miss, your memory I treasure, loving you always, and missing you forever!  With much love, Loretta

I couldn’t have asked for a better grandmother. You have given us all so much, and were such a light for so many. I always admired how everyone that met you, loved you. I know it’s because you truly cared about others, and that inspires me to be like you. I miss you and love you, grandma.
