Not sure what to say?

Daniel and Emily, God bless your mom. I remember her from your grade school days at Allentown. She and your dad we special folks. The Kuzma family

Joan was a great person. Made the best dang iced tea this side of the Mississippi. Back when I was working the railroad, working hard days, cutting rail through the harsh wilderness, Joan would always be there with the cold and sweet iced tea that was almost as sweet as she was.
