Please note I tried to send Joanne's death notice from the NY Times to the list
serve and it would not go through.? This is the link that you can cut and paste
into your browser, http://www.legacy.com/Link.asp?I=LS000123719332X.? It lists
Joanne as "Helen" so you may have a hard time finding it.?
We will all miss Joanne.

Dear Fran,

Thank you for sharing this very sad news. We were hoping that Joanne would
recover from her earlier surgery. Elizabeth Barrett shared the following
information about the services for Joanne.

Sincerely, Barbara

Dear Barbara,

In case you haven't gotten the information from Caring Bridge, it is as
follows:

at a restaurant, the Oriental Grill, at 507 E. 6th Street between Ave. A and
B. All are welcome. A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, Feb. 7th at St.
Joseph's Church at 371 Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave.) at the corner of
Washington Place at 2:30.

Blessings,
Elizabeth

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
