Norman, I was sorry to hear if the passing of the love of your life.

I really did not know Joan and met her briefly at a family function several years ago.
May our Heavenly Father grant you peace, hope, comfort and joy in knowing she is out of pain and in the comfort of Jesus.
Much love,
Dennis and SHIRLEY

Joan was a sweetheart with a contagious smile. She loved her family dearly and will be greatly missed. I enjoyed working with Joan at the bank years ago. Thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Sincerely,

Cuz Norm:

Joan will be missed. I'm very grateful for the blessings that brought her into your life. I'm reminded of author Richard Bach's words at this time:

"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

"Family is not necessarily made of blood, but of those you meet along the way.

"Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof."

Peace and Farewell, Joan. Thank you for your role as a mother and a wife.
