To my Dear Friend Joan,

The Marshall Fields Retiree luncheons and the monthly breakfasts will never be the same without you. Your funny stories and your jokes livened up all of us especially on days when someone in the group was not feeling well . Our friendship has spanned over 50 years since 1964 when we moved to Orland Park. You were always a wonderful friend to me and I will never forget you. Rest in peace now in the arms of our dear Lord, free of all the pain that you gallantly bore throughout many of these later years. We will all meet again someday & what a grand reunion that will be.
My heartfelt sympathy goes to your loving husband Irv and all your family.
God Bless you friend,
Love,
Dorothea (Dot) Lasch & Family
Orland Park, IL.
