Skip and Tara, Michael, Kurt and Cordea -We are so shocked and saddened by the loss of your Mom. Joan was such a sweet and thoughtful lady who always thought of others and so loved her children and grandchildren. She made every family get together with her special cards and individual gifts and especially her desserts! I will miss sitting and talking with her at Renee and Michael kitchen counter. You are all in my thoughts and prayers - there no words to express our deepest sympathy. Love you!
