I loved Joan's quick wit, her ability to find humor and realistic, down-to-earth reason in seemingly all situations, her welcoming of a newcomer, and her innate kindness. I liked knowing she was keeping guard over me as I would walk by in the morning. She will be truly missed. Hugs and prayers, Di

Joan was a such a giving person, putting others before herself. Her poems she would write out (by hand) and send to people meant so much to those who received them. She was a funny lady - great sense of humor who made me laugh. I will miss one of my last "church ladies". Thinking of you Cindy, here if you need anything. Love, Lori
