Dear Bob & Family:

We are so very sorry for your loss. We remember all the good times at Indian Point with you both. Joan was lovely, warm and compassionate with an upbeat and cheerful personality. I will always remember her support when I was undergoing breast cancer treatment 10 years ago. She will be greatly missed, not only by her family, but by her many friends. May God grant you peace during this very difficult time.
