Dear Bill and Family,

Marilyn and I received the news of Joan's passing and are passing along our condolences. Joan was a remarkable woman and a good friend to Marilyn. She was welcoming when we were new to the bank and helped Marilyn along in her transition to a new and wonderful Board. She may be gone but will always be in our thoughts. Bless you all.

Dear Bill and family,
The years pass but the fond memories of our lives always remain. Your family like many other solid Norwalk families, nourished our generation by providing firm foundations of faith and values.
Joan can now reap the benefits of a good life most pleasing to God. Live your remaining years in the graces she left for you.
She will be mentioned in our prayers.

Bill, Brian, Susan, Joan...et al. That you and your beautiful
family brought the Kleefields into your inner circle, was
one of the most precious of all the gifts that have flowed
from all those who adored Joan, You and your mom and
dad. I am sure that we and the entire community were
blessed by Joan's boundless energy, grace and abundant
kindness. There simply are NO words more expressive
than the LOVE that your entire family...gives so generously!

So sorry to have read about Mrs. Stephanak, I remeber her being such a graceful, gentle, soft spoken woman.
deepest condolences
