I was 11 years old when this tragedy happened and I still remember it. I did a search on line and found your site. Joan’s school picture looks exactly as I remember it 40 years ago on TV and in the newspaper. I never forgot it. I’m glad to learn that her mom is keeping her memory alive in such positive ways. Having 4 daughters of my own, I often found myself telling them the story of the little Girl Scout that was killed delivering cookies to a neighbor. I’m happy to see Joan’s memory is being kept alive 40 years later.

As the mommy of 2 nine year olds and a 6 year old & the sister of a woman who hasbeen greatly emotionally affected by your tragedy, I offer my most sincere condolences. I couldn’t imagine a worse experience and I KNOW it’d be impossioble for ME to find the strength you have found. GOD BLESS YOU AND JOAN!

Joan, I think of you often, I am so saddened by the atrocity of what happened to you, your mother is so dedicated to your memory and loves you so much she has worked hard for her victories. God Bless you and your family

RIP Sweet Joan… 40 years ago today you came into my broken heart by your loss and tragic story. I found your beautiful mom almost 40 years later. She is a special & loving person as I imagined you. It’s going to be a hard day today and Monday. I have learned more about you & your happy 7 1/2 years from your mom & I cannot thank her enough for helping me through 39 years of emotion & heart break learning so much about “Joan”…wonderful, happy things. You are known in your hometown & now known in mine both in Staten Island NY & the Jersey Shore…You are in the hearts & memory of so many. The week I found your mom…a White Butterfly flew right by me
