We were very sad to hear about the passing of Joan.
My brother and I were neighbors who lived across the street from the Markles on Melberry Trail .
We will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.

Joan was a good friend to all of us at Creative Concrete. She will surely be missed. May God bless her and her family.
