Dear Paul, Kim, and Family,

I was so saddened to hear about the loss of such a beautiful soul.

I had the joy of spending time with and caring for Joann for almost a year, and I carry with me countless memories that still bring a smile to my face. Joann was one of the kindest, most gentle, brilliant, gracious, and classy people I’ve ever had the honor of knowing. She absolutely adored animals of all kinds and her face always lit up anytime she spotted a sweet little critter.

We loved watching the birds and turtles together, admiring the blooming flowers in the neighborhood, and enjoying the simple beauty of nature. She had such a lovely singing voice, and I cherished playing her favorite songs while she taught me the words...

"… Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly
I gotta love one man 'til I die
Can't help loving that man of mine."

The love she and Paul shared was something truly special—deep, joyful, and inspiring. They were perfectly made for each other, and witnessing their connection was a gift in itself.

My heart goes out to Paul, Kim, and the entire family. Joann touched so many lives with her warmth and grace. I feel incredibly honored to have called her a friend.

Our ice cream dates were some of my favorite times together—we’d talk about life, laugh, and just be present. One time, we went for a walk around her neighborhood and she said she was on the hunt for a man for me. I reminded her I was married already and we had a good laugh.

She’d smile at me with so much love in her eyes, and every night I left, she’d give me a big hug, kiss my cheek, and tell me she loved me. What I wouldn’t give for just one more sweet hug.

With all my love and deepest condolences,
Stephanie Doyle

I had the privilege of caring for Joann, and in that time she became so much more than someone I looked after. Her gentle smile, kind heart, and the quiet strength she carried left a lasting mark on me. I will always be grateful for the moments we shared and the light she brought into my life. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. The love her and Paul shared was so beautiful & special to watch, always one of my favorite things to see!

To her family and friends, may you find comfort in the love she gave so freely and in the beautiful memories she leaves behind.

I had the great honor of meeting Joann as her weekend caregiver with Paul. At the beginning of my time with her we sang together, and she shared many stories and memories of her Mom and Miami. She was a special woman and will always hold a place in my heart.

What can I say about the most fun loving, intelligent and loyal friend I’ve had the good fortune to know? I guess the most prominent emotion is that I miss her. We had so much fun and so many “adventures “ over the last 35 years that I’ve lost count. We met through Sweet Adeline’s when we were both singing with the Royal Palm chorus. We both sang baritone and both of our husbands were in the same business. Well, that was enough of a start to get to know each other and the rest, as they say, is history. We were roommates on chorus adventures for the next 20 years until she retired from the organization. We went to lunch often alternating between Coral Springs and Boca Raton. We also enjoyed the occasional girls night out to go to a concert or show. I loved every minute I spent with Joann. We were, as they say, simpatico. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to her beautiful family with whom I’ve had the pleasure to spend time over the years. To Joann I say, I’ll see you again, my friend, and we will make beautiful music together once more 🎼🎼🎼.

She was my mentor, and was always there. She and I shared a love of animals.
She taught me many, many things, which I will never forget.
I hope you are resting in peace with ALL of your loved ones, Joann.
I know we will meet again one day.
Peace and much love, Ami
