I knew Joan Dunn through her children & she was always a gracious woman. I know she will be missed by those she left behind, but is resting in the arms of those who preceded her in death...Godspeed, Mrs Dunn!

One of the greatest regrets of my life, not to have insisted on a closer relationship! Sisters are special!
All my memories remain positively wonderful!
