I have very fond memories of Aunt Joan. The last time I saw her was a visit to the nursing home with Larry and Carol to introduce my wife, Debbie, to her. Debbie remarked what a wonderful lady she seemed to be. Debbie and I are truly sorry for the loss of such a nice lady and good aunt.

I remember going on vacation to Benton Harbor, Michigan with Eddie & Joan when I was just a kid. Gerry and I would play with Larry out on the front lawn. I will always remember the good times we had and her wonderful dinners.
