Mr. Latos and Family
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I was blessed to have cared for Joan and to have had the honor to hear her stories and watch her pictures on the digital frame. She was a sweet and kind person who loved her family and her husband as he loved her. I saw it in his eyes through his tears. May God bless you and help you to find peace in your sorrow.

Dear Latos Famiy,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I have seen Joan almost every day for 25 years out the back window or over the fence. I will miss her puttering around in the yard. Chris if you need anything just holler over the fence. I Know that she is at peace but she will be missed by her freinds and family. God bless you all!
