To Jeannette, David, Dana, Peter and all Joan's grandchildren and great-grandchildren:
Joan was a force of nature in a state of grace. What a rare and wonderful combination. She enriched my life by her presence, her laughter, her intelligence and her wit. A woman for all seasons and indeed for all times. I will miss her terribly, but always be the better for having known her. My sympathies to all you, dear family. Fondly, Heidi Timken

Joan…..a sweet and lively spirit. Kind and wise. Loving and patient. I loved it when you called me “Lass,” and your wrap-around hugs were so warm and wonderful. You were a teacher Joan. We all watched you live your life and marveled at your grace. I miss you and send sincerest condolences to your children and grandchildren who loved you so much.
