What a shock to read of Joan's death. I remember her well from my early teaching days in Geneva. She was an energetic and positive force even as a middle school student. My condolences to the entire Livingston family.

Rob,
It is with our deepest sympathies that we heard of your wife's passing, and my familie's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Even though I never had the pleasure to meet her it sounds as if she was a great partner for you and even a better mom. You will definitely be in our prayers tomorrow at church.
