Joan was a terrific woman and a great mentor.  I remember a dinner when we discovered that Fred knew my Grandfather in Michigan.  Such a delightful couple.

It was with such heartfelt sadness that my brothers, sisters and I just learned of Dr. Hirschhorn's passing.   Blanche Pavlis – her Vassar classmate, longtime friend and our late mother – always held Dr. Hirschhorn in such high-esteem and never failed to point her out to us as the shining example of there being no unsurpassable limits in life.  We will always remember her as such a caring doctor, devoted mother and lifetime friend and extend our deepest sympathies to her family.

I will miss you both. You addded so much to this universe and served as a tremendous role model for our young girls. Pleasant journey and hugs to those you have left behind.

Dr Morgenthau was the first "real" doctor I ever saw as a freshman at Smith College. Compassionate and serious, she treated me with respect and dignity knowing that my uncles (the Gribetz pediatricians) had prepared me well to move forward to a woman, adult doctor.
My sympathies to the entire family,
Sarah Gribetz

I am so saddened that my friends the Hirschorn's are no longer with us. I had the most amazing times with them when I was back in Greenwich caring for my Mom. My Mom and Joan knew each other since they were kids. I loved to listen to them retell stories of their childhood together and my favorite was when they had a tomato fight in my Grandparents kitchen!!! When they retold this they laughed like kids all over again. I loved to visit Fred & Joan whenever I was back there. They were the most amazing couple I've ever met. I miss them so much. 
To my old classmate Joan & her family my deepest and sincerest condolences. Know in your heart that your parents are now together again as they always have been.

If most of the world thought like Joan, what a great place the world would be. I learned from her and feel privileged to have called her a friend, Franny Taft

My heartfelt condolences to the Morgenthau  family in the loss of Joan. She was an incredible example of how the glass ceiling can be shattered with grace, dignity, brilliance and great heart. I remember reading about her naming her horse "Me Too"  when she was a little girl. She wanted to keep  Today, a lot of women and men can study  Joan's legacy  and say "Me too, I want be like her."

I am deeply saddened by Joan's passing and on hearing of Fred's passing as well.  Joan and I became fast friends walking the "patch loop road" at 6:30am many crisp August summer mornings in Blue Hill, Maine.  She set a fast pace up Quarry Hill Lane and down Borderland Hill in her flannel shirt and khaki pants. We enjoyed many evenings having cocktails and hors d'oeuvres either on their porch or the veranda at Landfall overlooking the beautiful view of Blue Hill Bay.  My most favorite memory of Joan was of hiking Blue Hill Mountain when she was 80.  There was a large group with kids and adults and she was so proud of her accomplishment.  It was a great honor and  privilege to know both Joan and Fred.  I will carry their memory in my heart always.  Our deepest sympathy goes out to Joan's family in this time of deep sorrow.

Our deepest sympathies to Henry, Bob and all the Morgenthau and Hirschorn chidren.

This magnificent woman, one of the most influential in my life, is a huge loss to our country, and to me.
