So many wonderful memories of swimming in the pool on Conrad street. The Van Geffens opened their home to so many. Prayers for her family at this time.

Joan was a lovely woman who truly amazed me growing up. She was able to balance a large family after losing her husband and did so beautifully. I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time.
