To all Joans Family, met your Mom about 3 years ago, she was one special women, I am a cancer survivor going on my 3rd year, I had a friend that sent me a card every week to cheer me up during my chemo and radiation, so I paid it forward and sent your Mom a card each week to cheer her and to keep her positive, I am so sorry that the cancer took her, I have very fond memories of her. Please know that I share your sorrow, remember the good times with her and know she is now a Angel in heaven watching over everyone. She will be surely missed at Paugus Bay Campground and Laconia Shaws.
