Your words are straight from your heart in this great tribute to Joan. I enjoyed reading your poem although it is poignant, Amada. Your words are filled with great imagery of her life and love of writing and of her friendliness and compassion for others.
Thanks for sharing and caring.
Respectfully, Jan

This is a very beautiful and heartfelt tribute to JoanE you have penned. Your words were so nice and kind. I don't remember her, but from what I have read she seemed like a really special lady. Thank you for sharing. love and blessings, Teri

Wonderful tribute, Nancy. I know Joan e. would love this poem. I used to read her work all the time and she did the same for me when she could. I envied her traveling times and wished I could join her. Thanks for sharing. Bob

'Bon Voyage, Joan E, is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work. To me this is definitely a six.

I was not as familiar with her as many others on Fan Story were. Your lovely, vividly descriptive poem, like others I've read, speaks of her travels, her talents, how others respected her. She will surely be missed.

A very emotional and moving goodbye and tribute. You did well in showing who JoanE was and the impact upon you and other through the power of words. It is a well lived life, when you have touched others and helped them grow.

Loved this beautiful tribute poem! Did you not get to meet at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Pam also said she had planned to meet but it didn't work out. Yes, we traveled to so many places with Joan through her poems! I learned her works were in an anthology but it wasn't on sale on Amazon anymore.

Hi Helen, we wrote and made plans. But the meeting didn't go through. It is some of the things I didn't get to do.

Dear Joan was a friend and mentor to many of us and I especially miss her. Not only a teacher but a good friend and fan. I can feel the passion in your work.
