Dear Michael and family, I was so sad to learn of Joany's passing. I have such fond memories of her at CSL and beyond. Always kind and cheerful. She will be missed.
So profoundly saddened to learn of Joany’s passing. Joany was uniquely rare, kind, and always embracingly warm presence in my life. I was blessed to have had her cross my path… your Spirit will remain in the hearts of a multitude my friend.
I was so saddened to hear of Joany's passing. I have fond memories of being with her at Camp Seneca Lake, having lunch picnics our junior year of high school in the spring, and plotting our graduation early from BHS. We attended MCC in the 2nd semester of our senior year together. I am thinking of Michael and all of the family at this tremendously difficult time.
Dear Michael and Family, So sorry for your loss of your beautiful Joni. Her memory will be a blessing to those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Joany and I had our bat mitzvahs together on the bimah at Temple Beth El on January 10, 1969. She knew to shave her legs, front and back. I had only been instructed to shave the front of my legs, much to the amusement of some in the congregation. Joany just gave me a hug of encouragement and we soldiered on in our halachic duties. I've always enjoyed running into her in the years since, and know that she had a wonderful life. My sincere condolences to the Appelbaum and Cooper families.
I remember Joany from Camp Seneca Lake and I believe we graduated together from Brighton High. I have such fond memories of how kind and sweet Joany was- she always had a smile on her face. My deepest condolences to the Applebaum and Cooper families. May her memory be for a blessing.
Growing up in the house behind the Apolebaum’s in Brighton brings back childhood memories of always being welcome and spinning those 45’s in the basement with Tommy Roe’s ‘Dizzy’ or ‘Sweet Pea’ on constant repeat. May her memory be a blessing.
Michael, Sandy, and the rest of the family, What a profound shock it was for me to hear this sad news. I always enjoyed bumping into you guys over the years, even when we weren't family anymore. My deepest condolonsces over the loss of such a wonderful person.
I never met her. But Mike and I worked together for many years in Florida. After going our ways we renewed our friendship most recently. I would have hope to have had the opportunity to meet such a courageous lady. My love to Mike and his extended family. Gus Besil Rentokil Fort Lauderdale Florida.

Michael and family, I was saddened to just learn of Joany’s passing. Please accept my sincere sympathy.Although it was years ago, there are many happy memories of CSL that stay with all of us, and even some from when the kids were little and we lived around the corner on Hunters Pointe ( changing a carpool to the J when your garage door came down on her car.). I had the pleasure of meeting your daughter again and son-in-law, years later,and your beautiful grandchildren. Again, my condolences on your loss.
