I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, Joan. I have many fond memories of growing up with the Cleary family. On a visit to Hillside I spoke with Joan when she was getting her house ready to sell. It reminded me of what a very kind and warm person she was.

With deepest sympathy,

Jack and Pam Loan

Joan was a wonderful woman who inspired everyone with whom she came in contact at The Meadows. She continued to struggle on in spite of her disabilities. She will be missed by both residents and staff here.
