Roy & Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. I loved Joan so much and enjoyed the years I was able to do her hair & nails. We had so much fun talking and sharing experiences. I loved her quick wit and sense of humor. Nikki also loved her as a grandmother. She was always short a grandma and considered both of you her second set of grandparents. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You are on our minds and in our prayers. Wendy Bradley
