My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your very special Mom and Grandma. She loved her family with a passion and often spoke of all of you. She was a joy to work with at the Worthington Library, exercise with at the Community Center and visit with at our WPL Alum monthly luncheons. My thoughts and prayers are with you in the days ahead.

Dear Lauren and Justin, Your Grandma Joanne and I were friends. We both worked at the Worthington Library, we were in the same exercise class, and we went out to lunch together. She always talked about how proud she was of you both, how you enjoyed Christmas and many wonderful times together. Your Grandma may be gone but her love is always with you. More love, from Meredith Farmer, Worthington, Ohio.

I'm so sorry to hear about Joanne's passing. She was always fun to talk to at the kid's basketball/volley ball games. I also remember how comforting Joanne and Fred were for me at the Cherry Valley Lodge Cancer Info Conference with Kim and mom. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love Always,

You may remember me from Watterson; I was friends with Kim~I'm Patty Coughlin. I wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear about your Mom. I lost my Mother only 3 weeks ago and I do know what you're going through. She was a wonderful lady and I hope you find comfort in knowing that she is with your Dad and Kim now. Please take care and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
