Joan Catherine Operhall

Uncle Ted,

You’re in our thoughts and prayers.

Whenever I think of Aunt Joan, I recall her as a smiling, attractive 30 year old with blond hair and blue eyes; living in your house on Vassar with the arbor in the yard, a lush green lawn, and Taffy your cocker spaniel.

A long time ago, someone said that she was a great cook and could duplicate any menu item from the finest restaurants. My mom would say that Aunt Joan was completely devoted to you; yours...

Dear Judy and Family, I was so sorry to read of your mother's passing. I have such a vivid memory of your family when you moved here while we were in the 5th grade and Miss Knapp's class. I remember going home with you for lunch one day and having a chef salad with you, Patty, and your mother. Our condolences and prayers go out to you and your family. Jerry & Lee (Lundell) Dickinson
