Joan - I think of you often and know you´re resting in peace.

Just found out about Joan's passing. We started out almost at the same time at Southern Pacific. We were friends for a long time. I knew her husband, Danny, also from SP. We lived in Petaluma and Dan and Joan would come visit. Then they also moved to Petaluma. Our children were at the same grammar school, and were also Indian Guides and participated in many events together. Joan was a wonderful person and raised a wonderful family.

I was blessed that Joan was my godmother. She loved to hear stories about how everyone was doing. Her laughter was so uplifting that it made you happy to make her laugh.

They always thanked me for coming, but it is I who should have thanked them for the friendly visits. My...

To all of Joan’s family,
Please accept my condolences - I’m so sorry for your loss. Joan was a wonderful lady and I always enjoyed spending time with her.

So sorry to read about Joan's passing. We worked together at Bank of America and had so much fun. She was so funny and we laughed a lot. You will be missed. My prayers go out to the family. God bless and rest in peace Joan!
