Mrs. Sheehan was such an inspiration. She lived life to the fullest. I am sure that Joan & Dan are celebrating with Jack & Gale O'Leary this Valentine's day. My parents loved your folks, as do all of the O'Learys. May she rest in peace.

Joan was a breath of fresh air! Her fun spirit, and engaging smile, will be missed! Our 2 real estate offices shared the same building for many years in Clayton. So many wonderful memories. Peggy, it was so good to meet you when I was in St. Louis, and to see Joan again after so many years. All the best to you, and the whole Sheehan Family!
