Memories and Condolences
for Joan Sykes
January 2, 2013
To Joan's family: Your mom was a perfect example of a dynamic,concerned mother. She served on the first Board of Holy Ghost School in South Holland and brought a mother's view to this body of learning. Her legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren.
She was also a true friend.
