My prayers are with Joan and her family. As a young woman working for Joan, I learned so much of my work ethics from her at C&P. God bless you, Joan.

Praying for her and her family. Joan was a wonderful role model for me as a young woman working for her at C&P. I learned so many of my work ethics from her example.
