Dear Bill and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. The many good times we shared back when we were in our teens and twenties brighten our memories of Joan. We're so grateful that you were able to get the group of us together down at the shore some years back -- after life had taken us on our separate ways. You're in our prayers.
