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.

Thank you so much for setting up this site. It is just beautiful and allows those of us who are far away to feel closer.

I worked with Joann at Hyatt for the last 14 years. Though we didn't share many accounts together, she was always a shining star in my book. I met Chris briefly in Aruba at Hyatt Masters. Chris, you do not know me, but I have been thinking about you and Joann's parent's constantly and my heart is so very sad for all of you. I hope that the beautiful memories are a comfort to you in the coming years. Your family makes heaven shine even brighter.
