just read this quote that Joan made in 2013 ... "The trouble with me is, I make jokes too often," she told the AP in 2013, just days after the death of her older sister. "I was making jokes yesterday at the funeral home. That's how I get through life. Life is SO difficult — everybody's been through something! But you laugh at it, it becomes smaller."

I totally relate to her now.  My Aunt passed away and the Portuguese side of my family is Catholic. So we're at this funeral home...i find the whole idea of viewing a dead body to be quite unpleasant, so i say to my cousin, "you know when you told me that your mom died, I believed you ... you didn't have to show me."  Nobody laughed.

That's actually a good one, I'll remember that.

 

 

I heard this morning she was doing better…..RIP funny lady.

 

 

I heard this afternoon that she was certainly in a better place.

 

Have only been to one open casket, and was mostly surprised to see how much shorter my friend was than I will always remember...

She is 

 

She was funny, I would be thrilled to make it to 81.

 

Not uncommon for a person to Rally/seem to improve,  before dying later in the day.   I don't know if they just relax and don't worry about what is coming.  Have seen and heard of it more then once.  I have also had conversations with those about to die.  I don't recall anyone complaining about it.

 

Must agree RIP
