To all the family,
Joan was well known to my mom and sister Carol. She was a distant cousin to us (my grandmother's maiden name was Ana Krampach). I know it's not easy to lose a loved one, but know that she is watching over all of you. God Bless!

I was so sad to hear this tragic news. Eileen and I had just visited with her the Monday before. She greeted us with her happy smile, lively conversation, lunch, and interesting stories of her Slovenian ancestry research. Being around her was always fun. She will truly be missed.

Dear Auntie Joanie, Thank you for sharing my height with me. And thank you for taking care of my father after Grandma passed away. I wish you did not have to leave so soon. Please say hello to your sister and mother. We will take care of Uncle Wayne. Love your Grand Niece, Sarah.

Janet, Lori, and Wayne:
We are so sorry about Joan. She was a wonderful person, and we feel blessed that we got to meet her and travel to Slovenia with her (and you!). Your family was our first contact with our travel group, and we couldn't be happier about that. Joan was especially helpful because she had already been to Slovenia, so she had a lot to tell us. She was always smiling and cheerful and fun. We are praying for you and your family, and we're sending our love your way.

I love you and I will deeply miss you. I hope Heaven is everything you imagined and more, because I know that there was no question at the gate weather or not you should go in. I know you were fast tracked to the front of the line. You were a saint and will be missed by so many.

I will always remember Joanie's cute giggle. I think of us on Christmas Day delivering Stockings to the residents at the Nursing Home. That was a special day. She had such a kind heart. Your angel here on earth with be with you all in your hearts and guiding your family. Gods blessings for comfort to you all.

I am going to miss you so much. You was always so so sweet. I wish I could jump thru this computer just to get another hug and kiss from you. God Bless my cousins Mark, Janet, Michael, Ronnie, Duane and their families as they go thru life now. You are in Gods hands and are with my mom. You will be a shiny angel, looking down on everyone's lives.

I am really going to miss Joan and her smile. She was one of my favorite Red Hat Ladies in our chapter. I also worked with her at the Chateu. We had a lot of great times and a lot of laughs. It was so much fun shopping with her. I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there, but,I no longer live in Illinois.

I just saw Joan at the Chateau Nursing home were she volunteers. We worked together for many years. I am so happy that I got to see her. She was very happy with her life. God took her much too soon.
