I went to call Joan this Christmas and when I did I learned that she had died. Julie and Steve, Karl and I send you our deepest feelings of sympathy.
Joan was such a bright and generous friend. During our first two years of marriage while Karl interned at University Hospitals I worked in Public Relations with her. She and Dick made Cleveland a special place for us and thoughts of them have always brought back so many wonderful memories. We know how much you will miss her this Christmas season and wish you comfort in knowing what a wonderful person your mother was.
With best wishes for the New Year.
Pat and Karl Benedict

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Joan. We have been friends since we were about five years old. She was a wonderful friend and a special person. I send my prayers, love, and deepest sympathy to her devoted brother, Bill, and her children Steve, and Julie.

My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there is a hope for our love ones lost in death can be reassuring.
