I cannot believe you are gone Joan. What a shock to me and my family. It was such a pleasure living next door to you and your family in Fremont and being a friend.
Unfortunately I was not able to get to see you after I moved and I regret that so much.
May you rest in God's home and may God bless your family everyday with good health, joy and happiness.
Love,
Dottie Crawford
