She was a great Mama Bear as I was Baby Bear in our third grade production of The Three Bears. My yearly birthday card from Joan began with Dear Baby Bear. My wife Anne and I were dear friends with Joan for at least 80 years as we all joined the First Presbyterian Church in Reidsville the same day in 1941. It was wonderful to share life with Joan and her family.

Debbie, Richard, Barbara and Family,
very special thoughts of aunt Joan, insightful ideas with varied topics of discussion, sometimes with her wonderful humor added in , the anecdotes of life, and many family stories. For me, many cherished memories , especially of the family summer and beach gatherings in childhood and early adult life. The really good advice about life she could offer, and her recommendations for good literature to read as well as insightful nonfiction material....
