I just wanted to say how very sorry I am about Joan & how much I enjoyed working with her. Joan worked for me for a very long time at Spar and was a very hard worker and had a wonderful sense of humor. I have missed her since she left Spar and was very saddened to hear she was so sick. I know she is at peace in Heaven and watching over her children who she always spoke so very highly of.
I am so very sorry.
