My deepest sympathy on your loss. Joan always held a special place in my heart and will miss her short note this Christmas and a photo of her grandchildren. I am her cousin and was one of her junior bridesmaids at their wedding. My parents were William (Cy) and Ann Husarik, my sister was Francine. My prayers are with each of you.
