To Joan's family, I am saddened to hear of your Mom's death. I haven't seen her much in the past while, but will certainly miss the Maxine emails she always shared with me! I will think of her often with fondness especially when Maxine share her words of wisdom. Blessing to all of you. - Posted by: Jan (Friend) on: Nov 21, 2017

I have only known Joan, Cathy & family for a short time. But, when Cathy introduced me to her mom, I knew we would hit it off right away. After awhile Joan gave me a birthday card, signing it with, "my adopted son". This was Joan, she made you feel part of the family, right away. I will truly miss our joking and your friendship. You will always be in my heart. Rest well my adopted mom, until we meet, again! - Posted by: Robert Mohr (Friend of Joan, Cathy & family) on: Oct 05, 2017
