Our heartfelt sympathies are with you and your family. Brenda, you were a Godsend to your mom and she will return that by watching over you, Erika, and Tim forever. Joan was a wonderful mother, friend, and sister. I hope you can find comfort in the knowledge that she is watching over you. I know in the coming days you will hear your mom's voice talking to you, advising you, and letting you know that she loved you very much.

Ah, Joan, we will miss you. While we knew your journey was coming to an end, and felt so very much pain for you, Brenda, your granddaughter, and all of your extended family, we also dreamed and hoped for more time. Joan, as part of the Cancer Wellness Center Ovarian Cancer Networking Group, we shared a bit of your journey, and we benefited from your inquiries, your comments, your caring, your ideas, and your calm and upbeat spirit.
May you rest in peace and may all of your family accept our deepest sympathies and condolences on your loss. May all remember your gentle, wise words, your loving, and your patient strength.
