Joan and Derrick were friends of my parents, Barbara and Razor Burke. After my dad and Derrick died, my mom and Joan continued to have adventures together. Joan was also very supportive of my daughter Riley, helping her with Girl Scout and school fundraisers, such as her high school orchestra trip to Chicago in 2019. She also attended every Kids OnStage performance in which Riley participated.
A loving mother and grandmother, Joan was also a good friend. As my mom became more ill, Joan visited her regularly. First, at her home and then when she moved to a nursing home. I hope she knew how much her visits meant to my mother and our family.
My heartfelt condolences go out to Joan's family during this difficult time. She touched many lives and will be deeply missed.
