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.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Joann was a mother to look up to. No matter how tired she was at the end of the day she always had hugs and kisses for her children. She had a gentle way of soothing any problem away with a hug and calming words. She had a way of making those around her feel happy. That's just the kind of person that she was. She, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Marianne Smith (Erie, PA)
