Joan, you was such a lovely lady ♥️ I have many fond memories of you and great Uncle Tony at my grandad Mac and grandma Barbara’s house in Rochdale , BBQ, dinners and me entertaining, singing away at a young age and pretending to be the trolly girl host with the drinks. 

You will be sadly missed - RIP dear Joan. Sending love ♥️

To my friend Joan, 
Banter is a skill that can add a touch of lightheartedness and wit to conversations. It is the playful and humorous exchange of remarks or teasing between individuals and involves the use of clever wordplay, sarcasm, and quick comebacks to engage in a friendly verbal sparring match. I always appreciated our good-natured, witty and animated joking. Thank you for the laughter, Joan. It will be missed. 

To the Family, 
I will always remember Joan's incredible sense of humor. My condolences to each of you.

Dear Tony,
Our dear friend!
May you feel God's arms around you during this difficult time. Our prayers are with you.
It was a joy socializing with you both as neighbors and friends.
May the Lord give you a peace that passes all understanding.
Dan and Rosa

Gonna miss you and our chats so much,
Lots of love

Joan was my dear neighbor for several years in Spring, Tx. We would meet at the park walking our dogs. Often Joan would come over for a glass of lemonade and we’d just talk!
After they moved we would call each other.
I loved to listen to her accent!
On their way through Houston Tony and Joan would stop by. I always appreciated how Tony  showed such care for Joan and Joan for Tony.
May you all experience the comfort of God as you grieve. I loved Joan. Becky Short

Thanks for the memories here in Beaumont, California.
Joan was a dear friend who always be remembered in our hearts forever.

Mum, from the first day we met, you treated me as family. I have so many wonderful memories of times we spent together during family BBQ’s, vacation to Cancun, and holidays. You always went above and beyond when planning holiday dinners. You always made sure each of us received a phone call on our Birthdays. 

When the Twins were born, you were there for everything during the delivery. You then spent your time after the Twins came home, staying with us, helping Julie and I caring for the boys.  You were so amazing and I don’t know how we could have managed without you. 

After Julie and I divorced, you still treated me like I belonged. I Pray you know how much I loved and appreciated you for that.  

I won’t say goodbye to you, but I Pray we meet again in Heaven. 

I Love you Mum!
Don Palumbo
