There are not enough words to express the loss that is felt upon hearing of Joan's death. She was a kind and loving person that will be missed dearly at Parker Middle School. May your soul rest in peace now Joan. I will miss you and your sense of humor.

Dear David and Carolyn,
Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss of Joan. Please extend the same to Joan's son and the rest of your family. I remember Joan well, especially her smile and laugh. GHS was a special place..that brought us all together...a small town school does that. I will keep Joan and all of you in my prayers.
