It is with great fondness that I remember Joan. She had a great sense of humor and a quick wit. We will fondly remember her visits to California to see her son Dan and the kids, during which I got to know her better. I will always remember her with a smile!

Our love and prayers go out to all the Casey family from your extended in-law family in CA. We were glad to welcome the Caseys to our family when Dan became our son-in-law. We were fortunate to have been able to meet both Joan, Paul, and other family members when they came to CA. May you have many happy memories to cherish. Her many activities and family events gave her a busy, fulfilled life. Our prayers will continue for all of you in our Masses and Rosaries.

Dear Casey family, I have many fond memories of your Mom during the 50 plus years I've known her. We had many laughs when we were PTA officers with
your mom and dad and our frienship continued long after you were all grown. My most recent memories are the days we spent on the road when she was practicing to retake her driving test. She was not the greatest driver (as I'm sure you all know!) but she was SO serious about doing everything right. I was very impresssed with what she remembered from studying her manual. We had a lot of laughs over some of her head-jerking stops!
I am sorry I will not be able to join you at the celebration of Joan's life. I am in Colorado for the birth of a grandson.
But, I will be praying for you all and
hoping you spend that day reliving all
your pleasant memories of your mom.

To the Casey Family - Heaven just received another great mom. Just thinking over the years, and all the sleepovers there used to be in your basement just brings a smile to my face. I think if you would have allowed your mom and dad to bring their sleeping bags downstairs, they would have. Not to chaperone, but just to have fun. Your mom will be missed by many!! Blessings to all!!
