JOAN B. DOWD

How sad to hear of Joan’s passing.
What gift she and Tom were to the community and church of St. Monica.
May she Rest In Peace!
Thank you both for your years of love !

I'm sure going to miss my Sunday morning kiss from Joan and my hug from my dear friend Tom. St. Monica's seems so empty without the two of you sitting in that front pew. But I'm sure heaven looks much fuller and brighter. I remember when Tom would dress up as Saint Nicolaus, and pass out candy canes to all of the children at school. Joanie would dress up as Mrs. Claus. They leave a lasting, loving legacy on how we should live our lives. God Bless you both. You sure will be missed, but never forgotten. Joseph Ungarsky

Dear Joan, I have the card I made and the note I was writing to you sitting here on the dining room table. I am very disappointed and sad I won’t get to send it, but am at peace because you are back with Tom in your eternal home. You and Tom were a joy to be around, always smiling and looking out for others. May you both Rest In Peace. With sympathy and love, Janie

Sincere condolences to "Aunt" Joan's family. She will be deeply missed both in church and at family functions, along with her DELICIOUS bakery.
