James and Karen Mohr wrote a sympathy message

“We were saddened to learn about Joan's death and wish you God's comfort in this difficult time. We met Joan and George back in 1971 when we moved into the Sherman Terrace Apartments and discovered our UCC connection. After each of us moved into real houses we enjoyed our occasional encounters, particularly a very pleasant dinner one Saturday night at their home.”
