The Kosanke Family are the kindest, classiest, fun family in Kouts I have ever known. It started with my meeting of Jim and Joan years ago who became dear friends and extended on down with my friendships thru the generations. It takes outstanding people to bring up a wonderful family in these times and they reached that goal above and beyond. My heart and prayers go out to you all. Joan's smile and wonderful sense of humor will be missed more than words can express. With love and hugs to you all.

A lovely lady whom I knew from Valparaiso Dolls and Friends for many years. So pretty and well dressed. So pleasant and kind to all of us. If only we all could have been like Joan.
