@@iwillbebackfromgone Laugh at life to get through it my ass. You don't need to make fun of disabled kid to live peacefully with the idea of disability existing. She was an ugly woman inside and she made herself ugly on the outside too.

I am a lifetime Tennessean! I Love you Kathy ❤ Thanks for making me laugh during some dark times... I know she's been through a lot! We share similar stories, but she has bigger cajones! ❤ I always wanted to go to one of her shows, but couldn't afford it because I'm on disability, but I have always been on her side.... even if I do live in TN,❤😂😂

[@stevenousleyII]

Thank you so much to whoever uploaded this video! You are truly doing the Lord's work because Jonah was an angel Straight from Heaven, and believe it or not let me call a personal friend of mine as an up-and-coming stand-up comedian! Only got to hang out with her twice, and not for very long, but she is the real deal when the cameras aren't there. She was As Nice, generous, and even Kinder than I ever expected! Above and beyond to make me feel special and notice, I will never forget that. If it wasn't for my stories with her I would have never been on The Wendy Williams Show multiple times, also. She is, was, and will always be my hero! The kindest and funniest human being I've ever known, and Melissa her daughter and I keep in touch thank God. Because she keeps me updated and send me new pictures that she finds of Joan, and it's a really nice friendship that we developed since her mother's murder! I'm sorry, but let's call it like it is. She was murdered because they decided to take a selfie with her instead of grabbing the crash cart in the hospital!❤😢

[@narrativemode]

Thanks for sharing and I'm happy you had those experiences as a point of pride. She was and will always be that for a lot of people. She was smarter than most as people didn't understand what she was doing. I think their upset/faux outrage stemmed from the fact they couldn't keep up with her and wasn't about her. She explained herself a lot in a joking way and sometimes serious way which made her reach more people. She was timeless in that way as multiple generations pine for her body of work. There's so much out there somewhere to be found and shared online. I just post what I can find.

[@aarondigby5054]

When I saw the nurses taking selfies of Joan I thought it was the most disrespectful, unprofessional shytt I'd seen and to know she died in that horrible place
