Joann has been a force for good in our lives; in life and where she
has now gone, she is a source of continuous learning. Before loving
interactions with her in Phase, Anger Boundary and Safety and other
programs, we learned new skills in parenting from her one summer a
long time ago. Her own childhood experiences combined with her
later interests and training translated into insights, skills and a
graceful acceptance so few parents ever glimpse. Her wisdom, her
diligence, her energy, her generosity, her humor, her loving,
kindness and power will continue to teach and inspire--as will this
community she has helped bring together. We are honored to have known
her and shared the blessings of her many gifts.
