Many memories of this fine woman in my heart. Any trip north was never complete if I did not get to see her at her crossing guard site...even if the visit w/her was short...it was always well worth it to my heart and my being... she was family and family that I loved.
Aunt Joan, praying you're blessed and that your heart is overwhelmed as Jesus joyfully welcomes you into his home. Love Jim Fisher
