Gail and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I remember her well as my family lived in the same neighborhood. We were also in the same church family. Joan was a sweetheart. I have many fond memories of her. Again, my condolences.

Was just thinking of her on may day, remembering our may baskets. Your backyard was the neighborhood playground where we gathered to play ghost in the graveyard. My condolences to Gail and family. Margaret
