We are deeply saddened by Joan's passing.
But our sadness turns to joy as we remember all of those times we shared with her. The times when she caught us out doing something we shouldn't, the times we laughed until we cried, the times we had a problem that seemed to overwhelm us, the times when meals seemed to appear out of no where, the time when we shared a drink or two - or three, the times when we needed consoling and the times when we could console.
But, in our hearts, she still remains - strong, chatting along, with an always ready ear.
She had a strong faith that shaped her life. We, perhaps, have not actually shared in her beliefs but - everyone has felt the benefit of her faith.
God bless you Mom, because you blessed God by blessing us all.
From the bottom of my heart.
