Sorry to hear of Joan's death.
The Rolaff family was one of the finest in Hazel Crest at the time, and rightfully so. We remember them at St. Anne's and always enjoyed seeing when our children played together. They stood out among many other fine families.
Our deepest sympathy to all the family.

I will always remember her lady-like personality, her fashionable ware and conversations will the residents.

Bless the family during this holiday season and may the Lord grant peace to all of you.
