To Chester and Joanns family,
We want to extend our sympathy and blessings to Joanns' family. I met Joann thru the Am Legion Auxilary years ago. She was a lovely, sweet and gracious lady whom I admired! May God welcome her into his arms to Rest In Peace and may He comfort those she loved with precious memories!
Blessings,
Frank & Sharon Papish
