Joan Pfau Callahan

I was very sorry to hear of your mother's passing, Char. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know she will be missed.

To the Callahan Family. Sorry to learn of your Mom's death. Many memories of good times working with her in the Community Players. And the after-show parties at your home on North Avenue so many years ago. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.

Our mom and Joan were great friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

With Deepest Sympathy,
The Corrine Rose Family

To the Callahan children, Joe, Pete, Jay, Melissa, Charlotte, Shelagh, & Amy: We were so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. I have warm memories of visits to your big cheerful homes when you were very young. You were all such bright, active and energetic children. In recent years, we were so appreciative that Joan and Harold reached out to visit with our family here in Anna, IL on a couple of their trips to Texas. They were both the same loving, generous persons I remembered from...

We are so sorry to hear of our dear friends death and sorry too that distance will keep us from being with the family.
Joan was such a part of my growing up. I was always treated with such thoughtfulness and generousity. I was the babysitter yet included in the family activities. I loved Joan as a sister and she treated me as part of her family.
I babysat from early grade school days through High School and would even come home from college so they could attend the Illini...

Charlotte, Thinking of you and your family during this time, my prayers are with you.

I was sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. She will be missed. Both of your parents were very active in the community and supportive of so many philanthropic organizations. They touched so many lives…

Again I am sorry for your loss.

Joan always kept in touch with me after my mom was moved to Texas. Joan & Harold came to visit her, bringing Lake Michigan water in milk jugs (mom's only request). When Joan walked into the bedroom my mom's eyes just lit up! I will never forget the joy that Joan (& Harold) brought to my mom's life that day. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.

Joan was a kind and geneous lady, her and Harold were always a joy to be around. Mike and I have GREAT memories of them both and they will be missed. I am so glad I saw Joan in April and had the chance to share memories. Out thoughts and prayers are with her family and so very many friends!
