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.

Dearest Chris,
My heart is heavy with sadness for you and your family. You know how much I loved working with Joann in Princeton and was honoured to call you both friends. It was so beautiful to see you both fall in love and to have witnessed her joy of finding the love of her life. Joann was an extraordinarily kind and loving person. She and your beautiful children will be profoundly missed by so many. Please know how much you are in my thoughts and prayers.
