With my deepest sympathy to the Wolfgang Family.

I am still in shock over Joan's passing. I worked with Joan for a number of years at Lawley. She was a GREAT Lady and will be missed by many. She was a good co worker friend Who I loved working with - unfortunately we lost touch over the years. I do know that she adored her family - husband, daughter, son in law and cherised her two beautiful grandbabies. Carol McNeight (Lawley Serivce Inc).
