I met Joan as I walked to the subway on my way to work each morning. She was on the same corner, with her "gang" of church-going regulars-----Janet, Ken, and Betty. Joan was a lovely, funny, warm person, and so life-affirming. Her children wouldn't know me, but I'm sure that they're envied by everyone for having such a wonderful mother. I'm just sorry that I didn't have the chance to say goodbye to Joan myself. We'll all miss her, but how lucky we are to at least have such great memories of her. What a beautiful person.
