“So sad for those of us left behind but rejoicing that she is surely in the arms of her savior where we will meet again. So many memories of GAs, choir, youth rally, sword drills, spend the nights and helping each other grow to adulthood. So cherished.”

“I didn't have the opportunity to know Joan well, but I knew her to be a gentle but vivacious, kind soul. She had a peace about her that radiated during conversations. She will be missed.”
