Joan with Rey VerStrat and little friend. Rey visited Joan often, at Paul Oliver when she broke her hip, at Michigan Shores, and at The Maples

Joan with long time caregiver Pat Reed, who helped Joan both at Michigan Shores and at The Maples. During COVID, The Maples gave Pat special quasi-staff status, allowing her to visit Joan every day, wearing protective equipment and getting tested every week, following the same protocols as Maples staff. Pat was holding Joan's hand when she died.

Joan with long time caregiver Susana Sanchez. Susana cared for both Will and Joan. When caring for Joan, Susana often brought fruit and veggies from her amazing farm. When Joan was at The Maples, Susana would drop by as a friend, bringing flowers from her garden.
