Joan was a wonderful volunteer, full of mischief and lots of fun. I very much enjoyed her on the mailcrew at the Channel 10/36 Friends, as the volunteer director. She was a dear and reminded me a great deal of my aunt, who also had her zest for life and energy. I always told her walk don't run, you are moving through life to fast and you need to slow down. She has been missed the last few years on the crew, but is spoken of frequently with fondness. God's Blessing Joan, may we meet again.
