Dear Barry, Jack, and Marilyn,
I'm very sorry to learn of Aunt Joan's passing, although I know the last years were very difficult. I remember Aunt Joan as always "running the show." And I have a feeling it just might stay that way.
God bless,
Win Michaelsen

DEAR BARRY, YOUR MOTHER WAS A GREAT LADY, VERY INTELLIGENT, AND VERY PERSONABLE. AMAZING LADY, ESPECIALLY FOR HER AGE. MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES.

We will always remember how good she was to Jim's parents (whom Paul married, when they move to Presby Homes from Philadelphia to be near us. She was their connection with their roots as they adjusted to a new circle of friends. Always enjoyed visiting with her, and previously, Paul, when we were in seminary in Pittsburgh. Her warmth, smile, and attractive glow will always be a legacy she leaves behind.
