Memories and Condolences
for Joan Schaefer
August 15, 2013
Joe, Our deepest sympathy go out to you and your family in the loss of your beloved wife, Joan. She was such a lovely, friendly person. We only met at the 5:30 mass at St Agnes but Martha went to school with Joan. They were sorority sisters together. It was always so nice to chat with both of you. I know the loss you are feeling because I lost my husband two years ago. Joan is in a better place and now you have a special angel in heaven. Pray to God and He will get you through this difficult time. Only time can heal our hearts; not completely but we have to accept what God has laid out for us. Take care and our prayers are with you.Martha and Ed Iuteri and Joanne Nesdale

Joanie, I'm so sorry to hear about your death. God bless you and keep you in heaven with your mom and dad and all the other saints. Thank you for everything you've done for me; you were wonderful and I loved you dearly.

Dear Carol, Joe, & family,
My Uncle Frank called to tell me this, but I couldn't quite believe it until seeing this article. I think of Joanie as warm and vital, and now I will think of her as rejoicing in her real life, her eternal life, at home with her loving Father.
My prayers for you to find peace amidst loss.

Dear Joe and family ,
mom and I are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden loss of our dear neighbor, Joan. She was a wonderful lady, and she had a wonderful smile!! She always had a caring, kind word to say.
She always took the time to inquire about how I was progressing, after knee surgery , a few years back...( that was the 'dedicated nurse' in her!) her presence around Savin Park will be deeply missed... Seeing her give a friendly wave, when she was outside...
You are all in our thoughts and prayers, and may our Lord Jesus give you all comfort and peace... Joan ? Is with him, now. God bless you all.
