Aunt Joan will be missed by our family. She always took more pictures at gatherings than anyone else. Made me laugh out loud at her jokes and comments. Kids called her their suburban Momma when they lived in Lansing. Still remember the trip to cedar point, too much fun. Love her very much and all the family. Praying for comfort during this time for the family.
