My heart goes out to all of you. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Aunt Joan. We had many many good times in the back yard growing up. I live in Ohio now, and still made a point to visit when I came home for a visit. When ever I would walk into the house, aunt joan always made me feel as no time went by at all. She always greeted me with a hug and smile. She is very much loved and missed. I am sorry that I can not make it home to pay my respects. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Love you all Alan.
