Dear Terry & John,
I think of Joan often. I have many things around my house that remind me of her that she made for me.
In my living room there is an owl, in the laundry room a welcome sign. I could go on and on from room to room but,etc.etc. I miss her and all the good times we had together. I am so glad to have had her in my life.

Dear Terri & John,
A friend from Elgin called me tonight and told me she had read about Joan's death. I did not even know she was living in Florida. Unfortunately we have not keep in contact lately. But when we worked together at Mueller & Co. we were close friends. And then there was a time she moved in with me. Those were great times. I have many good memories of Joan. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you.

John & Terri,

I'm so sorry I can't be there for Aunt Joan's funeral. You know I would be there if I could. I just can't believe she's gone!

We're planning a trip to Chicago soon and I started to pick up the phone the other night and call Aunt Joan and ask her a question. I don't think it's really sunk in yet. I'm sure it hasn't for you either.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. Tell the girls I'm thinking of them, too. I know they were close to her and this is hard on them also.

Love and Prayers,
Ronda & David
