This is Patty a nurse who worked with Joan In ICU at Lutheran. She was truly one of the best nurses. She was compassionate, loving, and kind. She was a very calm person and loved by all her coworkers.She had a wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed. It was an honor to know her.
My name is Mary. I worked with Joan at Emily Griffith Opportunity School, teaching with her in the LPN dept. Joan was so wonderful to work with! Terrific sense of humor-we had at least one good laugh everyday we worked together! Plus she was always kind and helpful-especially to the less confident students. Everyone's favorite:) I can't help but think she would have had some hilarious comment about her leaving this earth on April Fools Day! She was one in a million. I'm thankful to have worked with her for those few years.
