I have done business with Joan and Cliff for over 30 years. They are always kind and respectful. The entire family are good people. Prayers a plenty to all . She will be missed but never fogotten.
Many great memories visiting Aunt Joan and Uncle Clifford they are very gracious people. Was great to be able to grow up with Patty and Cherie spending many Christmas’s with them. Loving my kids like they were there Grandkids. Prayers to all the family Marilyn
Sorry I couldn’t attend Joan’s service. I do have a memory. Several years ago we were at the same Friday night vespers. Joan and I we’re both pregnant, her with Patty, and me with Cindy. After the program her and I were comparing as to who looked the biggest, we decided we were about the same. Had a good laugh.
I am truly sadden to see this obituary of the loss of Joan. So sorry I missed the funeral, and that I missed this notice! Sending lots of prayers and hugs for your family!
