So sorry for your loss Sue and Ed. Joan and Sue trusted me to babysit for them back in the 50s and 60s. Probably because my mother was right around the corner on Rose Court. Our neighborhood was full of children who played together and learned the value of friendship.

Kathy and family
Joan was a wonderful woman who included others with love, smiles, and acceptance. Betsy was our connection and we remained in touch through the years. Joan will live on with each of you and all those grand and great grand children. Peaceful memories to all.
