I thought some of you may appreciate being able to read this from today's paper.
I understand that there is also an Obit in New York Times, but am unable to
locate it, can anybody help?

Yours, in sadness, Fran

It is with great sadness that I have to inform this group that Joanne
Griffin died yesterday. I understand that she was peaceful in the last few days.

As you will be aware, Joanne was a very significant figure in Rogerian
science and at NYU, she will be very sadly missed.

I am sorry to have to bring you this sad news.

Love Fran
