Not sure what to say?

So sorry to read of Joan's passing. Wish we would have known..... condolences to you all. I saw her in June at Speedway and we talked briefly. Prayers to you and your families!

To the Mullen and Carey Families,

We have not seen you in a long time, but the memories of our childhood summers in Grand Rapids still hold a fond place in our hearts. Uncle John, Aunt Vi, and our 7 cousins always made our annual vacation trips so much fun. Going to visit their horses, swimming in Gun Lake, squeezing into their station wagon (with freshly made popcorn!) to watch drive-in movies, and enjoying huge dinners around the dining room table stand out to this day.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Joan was such a great lady - always kind, always loving and a great sense of humor . Our condolences to the whole Mullen family. Joan will be greatly missed at Pops Restaurant.
Sincerely, Roxane Smits, Teresa Zapolnik, Lisa Robertson, and Debra Robbins the waitresses at Pops

Words fail to express our sadness at the loss of our beloved Joan! She was a wonderful woman, full of wit, charm and care for others! We miss her dearly and take great comfort in the knowledge that she is with “her Johnny” in God’s loving embrace! May she and all the departed members of the Mullen and Cary families rest in peace.

Aunt Joan

I recall asking her advice many times at and beyond the age of 30 and she would say something like whats your plan? I would provide the answer , she would say walk it through, go do it. I admired that short, quick, snarky response because those are the statements that I needed to hear to...
