To the Englehardt family ,
I am sorry for your loss.I had the priveledge of meeting her while doing home improvement work for her at her home. She was a very kind person who was a pleasure to work for .We had a lot of laughs and talked about football most of the time, for which she knew all aspects of. She shared with me her late husbands passion for the N.Y. Giants and hers for the Patriots and may they enjoy this years Super Bowl together. Rest in peace Joan, you will be missed.

Steven, I am at a loss for adequate words to express my sadness for you and your entire family. I had the blessed opportunity of knowing your mom. I often think about all the times we spent together and all the meals your mom cooked for us. She was such a pleasure to have around and I will remember her always. I know heaven just received one of the most precious angels.
Love, Maria
