Grandma Jo was a second mom to me. She was a wonderful grandmother to my sister and I. My goal in life, is to make a differnce in many peoples lifes following in the footsteps of my Grandma Jo. We will definately miss her, but she is with the love of her life and without any pain.

Joan! What a great lady and friend. I always was entertained by her and we laughed often. It is sad to hear of her passing but I know that she is receiving her reward in heaven.

I was so blessed to have Joan as my upstairs neighbor for many joyful years. She and her family continued to be an important part of my life. The impact Joan had on her family and their friends will continue. She was a role model for her precious granddaughters, Jennifer and Jessica, and her ideals will live on through them. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
