Matt, Donna & Debbie - I am so sorry for your loss (our loss). Aunt Joan was a wonderful woman. She loved her kids and her grandkids. You all meant the world to her. She also liked me calling her and keeping in touch. I loved talking to her. Talking to her always made me feel good. I am going to miss her dearly. I am still in shock. I just found out.

She was also a very close friend to my mother. They were like sisters my Mom said. She is going to be lost without her.

Aunt Joan is going to be missed dearly by us all. She was a wonderful woman. I feel terrible that I can not be there. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

To my dear cousins, Matt, Donna and Debbie,
I will miss my Aunt Joan (Godmother). She was one of the most generous and loving person, I have known.

Your Mom was a dear friend to my Mother. I will write this for her, since she can not see. My Mom said, "she feels as though she has lost a sister".

She is with my Dad, he will take care of her.

You are in my prayers,
Mary Jo
