Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
To Joan’s family: I worked with Joan and Mr. Rockwell at the downtown library. I didn’t work in Joan’s department, but she was always very pleasant to me and I enjoyed visiting with her when I could. I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers. Sincerely, Ann Baker
