Frank "Grandpa" and Cindy:
I am sorry for the loss of Joan beloved wife and mother. I only knew Joan briefly but wanted to let you both know how sorry I was to hear of her passing. She was a great woman with a quick laugh and smile. She warmed your heart just to be around her. If you need anything I can help with please contact me anytime. I know as time passes your pain will ease and the best of her presence and memory will shine through. My thoughts and prayers are with your families.

We are so sorry for your loss. Aunt Joanie was a wonderful person who will be greatly missed. If there is anything I can do please call.

Love,
Mike, Tandi, Megan, Frank, Robert, Bryant, Haylei, Kayden & Maysen

To My Oldest, Dearest & Best Friend Cindy (RE),
Words can not say how very sorry I am and I wish there was something I could do or say to make your pain go away. I know in time the pain will ease and the joys that your Mom brought to you all those years will help you get thru and bring a smile to your face. I remember when we were young growing up your Mom was always like a Mom to me. I remember how we laughed, cried, talked & hugged thru all the good, the bad & the ugly. But then we grew up and life took us down different paths and I MISS my Best Friend. I was looking for some words to help comfort you and I came across the poem that is also listed. Remember I am always here for you and please do not hesitate to call me if you need anything - anything at all.

I Love You,
Tandi (Me)

Frank, Cindy Duane & Frank Jr.
You guys have been in my life for a long time (over 40 years). I will always love you. Your mom was so special to me. I will miss her dearly.
We would always share our feelings and thoughts with each other and your mom always had a way to inspire me with a kind word or loving advice. We laughed together, we cried together. Your mom was my best friend. I know she is with God in heaven and watching over all of us.

I love all of you
(Aunt) Bonnie

Dear Cindy and family,

We are so sad for you and your family. Your Mom was a special person who went out of her way to make everyone feel at home. She had a great laugh and sense of humor.

She loved her family, her friends, her country home, and especially her GRANDchildren. She leaves all of you a "love for family" that will be remembered for generations to come.

Please know you will be in our prayers as you struggle to get through this most difficult time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

In the short time that I knew your mother she was a great inspiration to me. She always had a kind word to say and brought a smile to my face. Your wife and mother have inspired me to keep smiling everyday no matter what Gods plans are for us.

Thank you Joan and you will be sadly missed. And thank you for all you did for our boys and David.

Love, David, Gwen, Davey, Dillon

Frank and family,
I am a nurse at the VA who takes Franks bloodwork and met Joan through him. She was a wonderful person, full of energy and love for her family. I wish i was able to see her last week when I called to visit but I know she was not well. You are in my prayers and if you need anything, we are here for you. Always remember her as a fantastic person and know that she is not suffering anymore. She will always be with you. Patti Demarest
