I have read and reread these wonderful entries about my mother and I am so proud to be her daughter. What an honor to have a mother who was truly loved and respected by so many kind people. Mom loved life and fought to live, but now she is with my dad, grandparents, siblings, and other loving relatives and friends. Thanks and blessings to all of you.

There are no words to express my sorrow. I am blessed to have been her niece and I celebrate her life. Out of all my memories, I will cherish her words to me at one of the Manion bunch visit at Symphony, we had so much laughter that day and she genuinely stated this was such a blast! Knowing we gave her laughter as much as we received it, is truly precious. Love you Aunt Joan.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Aunt Joan was a WONDERFUL woman! I have such beautiful memories of her. She was so very kind, and very talented. She was an amazing cook, seamstress. She also played the organ and would sing beautifully! I always looked forward to going to Aunt Joan and Uncle Carls home for the holidays. She always made Christmas and Easter very special! Lori, Sarah, Karen and grandbabies, please know we are thinking of you at this difficult time and we love you very much.
