I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW JOAN, THAT YOU WERE ON MY MIND TODAY. I WAS TELLING MY GRANDDAUGHTER GIANNA THAT YOU HAD TO LEAVE US, AND SHE FELT SAD. BUT WHAT LITTLE BIT OF TIME WE SHARED, I WILL HOLD CLOSE TO MY HEART FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE NOW AND JOIN ALL THE ANGELS AS I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING OVER ALL YOUR LOVED ONES.
