You all remain in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many wonderful memories of Joan . I enjoyed her visits to Pennsylvania, I can picture her and the family in heaven catching up on what they been doing in heaven. and why it took them so long to get together. Hugs and Love to all.
I was blessed to have known Joan for several years before having to move into an Assisted Living Facility. She loved her family and all her grands and great grands. She was a great card player at the Montclair Senior Center. I know you will all miss her but she is where she probably wanted to be when her husband passed many years ago.
