On behalf of my mother, Vickie and her family, we offer our sincere condolences. We have fond memories of her lovely smile and I for one will always remember being invited for "staycations" at your house in Lynn, when I was in my early teens. Jamsie, Carol, Cindy and family, we are very sorry for your loss.

With deepest Sympathy on the passing of Joan.
She was so sweet, remember her from The Mayflower and being a nice neighbor. We moved so we did not know she was I'll. May all your memories keep her close to your hearts.
