I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Joan was a beautiful lady, a kind and compassionate soul, the BEST neighbor to my parents. My Mother loved and adored her. She always looked after Mom, checked on her and prayed with her. It was such a blessing to have known her.
May you all find strength and comfort during your time of sorrow and grief. My prayers for your comfort. Joan will be greatly missed. ?

I met Joan a little over 20 years ago while I would be out walking for exercise and she would be speed walking as well. Every time I would see her I would talk about my twins and she would tell me about her twin grandsons. Over the years when we would run into each other at the store she would always ask me about my boys and I would ask about hers. She was such a sweet lady!
