I thought of Aunt Joan today (Christmas Eve) and thought to do an internet search and learned of her passing. I fondly remember the last visit when I accompanied Aunt Bev (Lenharr) to your house and spent some time with you and uncle Ray. So much time has gone by. Prayers to cousins Joanne, Mike and Jeff and families. Last saw some of you at Grandpa Charlie´s funeral in 1994. God bless you all.

Joan and I are issuers-in-law. We enjoyed long conversations and good laughter. She and Ray opened their home to the REBER family every Christmas. They had the home beautifully decorated and a warm fire in the beautiful fire place. A happy Christmas memory. You are tought of with my heart full of love. Now you are in our heavenly home and I will see you again bye and bye!
In loving memory,
Donna REBER

I was your Joan's hair stylist during her stay at The Heritage. I met her after my mother passed away and she reminded me of my mother right away when we started talking and laughing together. She always had a great smile and a quirky comment for me every time we saw each other and spend at least an hour each week together while I did her hair. We shared a lot of great conversations and laughing as you can see from the pictures that I'm sharing. I think we almost both peed our pants taking those pictures and having a good time. I got to sit with her on her last day and I held her hand and I thanks for the great memories and I told her I loved her because she made me feel loved. My sincere sympathy for your loss. Karen Walls
