Sending prayers and condolences to Mr. Jim and family. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Joan (grandma we so lovingly called her) was a sweet and kind little lady with a big heart of gold. Living across the street from the Young’s for 16 years now is such an honor. Great neighbors who became family... Grandma Joan Rest In Peace. Your memory will live on forever in our hearts. God Bless

Mr. Young- So sorry to hear about Joan. She was always so gracious about purchasing anything from Girl Scout cookies to school fundraiser supplies from us. You are in our thoughts!

Dear Jim
Pete and I were so sorry to find out about Joan’s passing. She always had a smile and we enjoyed living across the street from you guys for over 15 yrs.
Her love for her grandchildren and family were obvious as she always told us what everyone was doing. Annual Christmas cards and updates were so appreciated. Such great great neighbors! Prayers and condolences to the family. God bless.
Cathie and Pete Lindsay
