Our deepest sympathy to dear family, friends and neighbors. A great loss for us, but gain for heaven. Will never forget how loved Joan made us feel, her fun nature and refreshing honesty. So grateful to have so many wonderful memories with her and Giles on the lake.

Our deepest sympathy to Jay and Jane.
I have never known anyone sweeter and more down-to-earth than Joan (and Giles). They were just the best! Kind, generous, fun-loving, and wonderful parents to Jay and Jane and all the 4-legged furry children they loved over the years. Joan will be missed by anyone who knew her.
