On the upcoming anniversary of Joan's death, I cherish the special bond of friendship that we shared together and deeply miss our phone conversations, our special lunches, our weekends at the farm and our Girls' trips to Fort Myers. You would be so proud of Jon's progress since your passing. He has taken over some of your cleaning and lawncare duties and Curt & Jon are good bachelors. Until we meet again, my friend, we all love & miss you so much!

I met Joan through Christopher and his family. Joan had such a wonderful spirit and "spunkiness" about her that will always be remembered. God bless all of you. Peace be with you.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Joan. She always was so kind and giving helping her neighbor out with food on holidays knowing he did not have a means to a hot meal and from giving his dog biscuits. She was a true angel on earth. Prayers to Jonathan and Curt during these times.

I went to junior high and high school with Joan and Jean. I remember she was always happy and always with her twin sister Jean. I am sad to hear of her passing. I have not seen her for years but at times like this you wish you had stayed in touch with your friends from school. My thoughts and prayers to Jean and all of the family.

I worked directly with Joan many years ago at the Korner Company and I will never forget her. Her laugh, her smile and her enthusiasm was truly a gift to all who knew her. I have truly been blessed by her friendship. My prayers and love are with Curt, Jonathan and the entire family. The world has lost a very special person, but heaven has gained a beautiful angel.

I will never forget Joan's tremendous energy and kindness, nor her great big smiles and hugs every time she greeted me. I was deeply saddened to learn of her passing. Please know that all of you are in my prayers for peace and strength at this time -- (((Curt, Jon, Jean, Don, Chris and Geert))).

Joan, may the choirs of angels come to greet you. May they speed you to paradise. May the Lord enfold you in His mercy. May you find eternal life. The world is not the same without you.

Joan was an inspiration. Jonathan and Zach attended swimming and day programs together where I got to know Joan. She will be missed. Our condolences to the family.

My dear friend, life won't be the same without you. We had so many wonderful years together. You were a wonderful friend to us & loving Godmother to Kristy!! I will always remember our trips to the farm and Florida, especially when we went to see Fort Myers eagle's nest last November. We had the best times!! You are free from suffering now and you can soar with the eagles! Until we meet again... we love you always!
