Continue on when your friend is gone
Wonderful memories can be found.
Looking back at our times well spent,
There is No moment that was not ment.
Together we played,laughed,danced and cried.
forever holding on to all thats inside.
We're trying to cope ,What more can we do ?
Our hearts feel empty, lost without you,
Now God's strength will carry us through,
Deep inside we know it's true,
Someday in heaven we'll meet again,
for now, we...

I have known Joan since we went to grade school together at St Anne's. She was always the kind of person who you just couldn't help but love. She is in a much better place now then the rest of us and someday we will all be together again talking about our days on earth. She is going to be missed but will be in our thoughts and hearts daily. One of the greatest gifts she had were her many friends in Minnesota.

I send my sympathy to Joan's Family and all who loved her.
Although I did not know her very well I heard about this nice person from my daughter-in-law, Cindy Cavanaugh. I do remember that she always had a smile and was always laughing.
Eternal Rest Give To Her O Lord.

Hi Joan! I know you are looking down on us right now. We already miss you, but know you are free of suffering and pain. We will surely miss the supper get togethers and New Years Eve won't be the same without you. The boys will be fine and we will try and take good care of Mike . (but you know he's pretty stubborn!) Louise will be checking on Donna so don't worry about her either. You will be in our hearts until we meet again in Heaven. We love you Joan,
Mike and Louise

I only met Joan in person a couple times, but I've heard many wonderful stories about her from my mother-in-law Cindy. And I'm sure Cindy will share many more through the years. My own personal memory is when she came back from the cabin with Cindy to help do my hair for a quick wedding. Cindy said Joan was the "up-do" specialist and I'll always remember she helped on our special day.

All the angels will have beautiful hair in heaven.

I didn't get to spend much time with Joan, but at times was blessed with her presence. I was able to get to know her humor. I saw how she cared about those around her. I knew of her devotion to her family and friends. Best of all, I was enriched by her unconditional love and respect of a nephew. Always in my prayers.

I was blessed by Joan when I met her about 11 months ago. (My husband's mother is a dear friend of hers) She truly touched my heart and I haven't stop thinking and praying for her since I met her. I was planning for my wedding when Joan said to me that she is praying that all goes well at my wedding. I had to tell everyone I knew that this beautiful women had taken the time to care about me and the events coming up in my life, when she was the one who should be receiving the prayers during...
