Joanna’s Story

Site created on February 19, 2024

…life and love is so rare 
it seems we lack words
to describe the whole,
the way that beauty rises
from the meanest circumstance, 
that pleasure comes from
tiny moments, making everything 
a shared adventure and a gift.
— From “To Joanna” by Jim Parker

Our lovely adventurer, dancer and irrepressible raconteur Joanna has recently entered hospice. She was diagnosed with heart failure during a series of hospital stays beginning late last fall. Even so, as ever, she wants to hear from you, and to see you. She recently moved into assisted living at the Pillars of Prospect Park. Please consider visiting and/or leaving your good wishes here. Appointments to visit her at The Pillars are not necessary but it might be good to call her at 612-298-2382 and leave a message before you come. She might be out listening to live music somewhere!
