I have known and loved Joanna and her extraordinary family for 62 years. She and I sang several operas together with the Utica Opera Company, including Carmen, Rigoletto, and Madama Butterfly; and we collaborated in several musical productions with the Clinton Central Schools, usually starring her talented and remarkable children. We also once produced a very fine (if I may say so) version of Pirates of Penzance, featuring the whole Moore family and the whole Davison family.
Roger and Joanna created one of the most memorable love stories I have ever known, providing the best possible role model for what a loving home can be for their children and all who knew them.
The world has lost someone very special, but she leaves behind so many lives indelibly touched by hers.. God bless you all.
