To My Childhood Friends Tom & Jim:
Sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Just the thought of her sweet smilimg face when we were children pulls deeply on my heart. Bless your family and I send my condolences to all.
I was in the area recently and drove past the house on Airport Rd.and thought of you all. Time passes so quickly and we all go our own ways but we still keep our friends in our hearts.
God Bless You All

Dear Tom and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. One of my fondest memories is from around 86-87 when Joan and I worked for a developer in East Lansing. In addition to her children, Joan loved dogs, as did I. I would bring Bailey over to meet Ernie and Bailey always went home with a tummy full of treats, (as did I). Joan presented me with a artist's drawing of Bailey, done by Tricia Reust. My hunch is that Tricia did this out of love for Joan and not for profit. I will always have this superb drawing on my wall. I will fondly remember your wife and mother.

Dear Puppa and Family, We are so sorry to hear of Grammy's passing. You all have touched our family so deeply that we will miss her and feel your loss for many years to come. Grammy, directly and through Susan and her family, have taught us so much about how to love each other, how to show kindness, patience and forgiveness. She has shared so much of herself so selflessly. We are better people for having known her and you. I think that her wings are sparkling brightly and reflecting beautiful light. She has already worked a miracle for me. To think I can call on her anytime is a great joy for me and my family. Bless her on her new life, and bless you all as you continue on yours.

Dear Tom, Susan, Gail, Jim and families,
we were so sorry to hear of Joan's death, through our friends the Ramirez'.
Joan stepped in to my life from over thirty years ago to play "grandmother" to my little girls, as my own family was 10,000 miles away from De Witt and she knew I was so lonely. All our four children were baptised wrapped in the beautiful white blanket that she had made. Joan taught me to crochet pot holders and I have lost count of the hundreds of pairs that I have made, and every one I make brings back the memory of my gentle, kind and loving friend.
The last time we saw you was when you travelled to Virginia to share the wedding ceremony of Jessica, and what a great thing to see you again and be in your presence.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, and we hope that by knowing this, somehow it helps to bring some of Christ's strength to all of you at this time.
Joan brought a special loving experience into our lives, especially to Shirley, Jessica and Josie, and we are the better because of her.
many thoughts,
Doug, Tricia and all the Reust family from Australia

For Tom and his family, I send my sincere condolences. It's surely a difficult time for all of you. I have many fond memories of sharing thoughtful dinners in the Kurkowski household, hosted by Joan and Tom, when staying in the Lansing area when Tom was my immediate supervisor.

Dear Kurkowski Family,
There are no words to express the pain you all feel right now. What a wonderful lady Joan was. She is an inspiration to all who get cancer and showed us all how to fight it with diginity and grace. May God give you all strength during this hard time and may you find peace knowing you have a wonderful angel with you. She will be missed, but never forgotten.
