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 met Joann and Chris about 10 years ago, I think the first time was in Ocracoke, and was there at their beautiful wedding, a witness to the deep love and amazing chemistry they shared. I remember Joann very vividly and very fondly - and remember her extra-special loving bond with her father. I am so very very sorry for your heartbreaking and tragic loss, Chris, Jon, and everyone who knew and loved Joann, Kristin and Zachary. They will be in my heart always. My thoughts and prayers are with all you all.
