From Jennifer Mattler:

Joan Provizer, my aunt, was the oldest of three siblings, the mother of three children, and Bubbie to five grandkids. Aunt Joan was in her 30s when she was diagnosed with scleroderma. She never complained. She went three times a week for dialysis. She did everything she could to fight this awful disease. She fought valiantly for forty years. Aunt Joan was a role model not only for me but the rest of my relatives. My family and I walk in her honor. Someday we all hope that there will be a cure. We love you, Aunt Joan.
