Share Your Thoughts and Memories

"Although we know that after such a loss the acute state of mourning will subside, we also know we shall remain inconsolable and will never find a substitute.  No matter what may fill the gap, even if it be filled completely, it nevertheless remains something else.  And actually, this is how it should be.  It is the only way of perpetuating that love which we do not want to relinquish."  --Sigmund Freud in a letter to a man who lost his son.


If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, stories, or photos of Joann, Kristin, or Zachary, or wish to offer your condolences to Chris and the Rumsey and Piano families, please send an email to rjpiano at yahoo.com

We will post them to this site as soon as we can.

Dear Chris and family,

Joann was a dear friend and colleague although I have not kept in contact with her since I moved from New York over 3 years ago. We started our careers with Hyatt about the same time, she in Princeton and I in Washington, DC. I enjoyed her company with her cheery, friendly and insightful disposition. I remember how happy she was in love and with work and am so sorry I did not have the opportunity to see her in action with your children. I am so sorry for your loss of Joann, Kristen and Zachary. They will be missed by all.

Fondly,

Mia (Cooper) Schreier (Berlin, MD)
