Hi Joan! I miss our yearly visits when you would come to the Lehigh Valley, and we would get together. We would go to Pizza hut then back to my house and talk the afternoon away. Luck was the day I started at Hess's, the same day you started, and we became instant friends. I think of you a lot and wish you were still here. One of these days I will be joining you and I expect you to be in the Croud of Souls there to greet me. I love you Joan!

Hi my friend Joan,
I miss our visits. Our regular trip to Pizza hut and back to my house for chit chat! Every time I use a napkin, I think of you and how you told me you use to cut them in 2 when the kids were little. Then there's the placing of the napkin under your water glass to catch any condensation! Little things I remember. I am also still using the napkin holder you gave me many years ago. Seems like our life revolved around napkins!!! I hope you ran into my mom, dad and Shaun to have a nice reunion. I know you are having a wonderful time in heaven. So many things to do! Love and miss you, Janie

Dear Susan, Tommy ,Steven and family,
I have been friends with Joan for almost 40 years. As you know I met her at Hesses .We started the same day and hit it off right away. I tresure her friendship. We had many a good times together , a lot of laughts. I will always keep those good memories in my heart . I am so sorry she had to spend the last 10 years of her life as sick as she was. I know she is all healed now and with family and I'm sure she is enjoying being reunited with Andy and her mom and dad and many family members and friends. I love your mom and always will.
