I'm so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. I was just speaking of her to someone on the Western Union website a few weeks ago. My condolences to Harold and the family.

I have fond memories of hanging out at the Adam's house as a kid. There were many sleepovers with Marlene and the other girls from OLPH. Mr. & Mrs. Adam always made us feel at home and I cherish those memories. My heartfelt condolences to the whole family.
Love,
Michelle
