So sorry to hear about Joan´s passing. She was my cousin and I was so glad when she moved to Spencer and we were able to see her occasionally when we were home. I also know my Mom and Dad (Kenny and Stella) enjoyed her being close. So sad to lose her.

She was my cousin--- the only one who lived within 50 miles of us! She was always sweet and happy, and part of my good childhood memories.
