Joan was a special kind of lady, always a warm hug and a kiss to show her affection to family ( or extended family members) at all the family get togethers. I will miss that greeting.

We know she is now at peace.

Farewell dearest friend...rest easy until we meet again. And then you can have a grilled cheese sandwich while I have a big, gooey dessert! You and I (and a few select friends) know what I mean! Love always.

Pal Joey, Your sister Mary and family loved you so much. Our class reunions and luncheons will never be the same without your organizational skills and jubilant personality. You were such a wonderful caretaker of your dear mother for so many years. You had so much compassion of others. Your beautiful blue eyes always reflected your wonderful soul. I hear you singing the song the GID club sang...with someone like you, a pal so good and true, I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find..a place that's known to God alone...just a spot to call our own...we'd find perfect peace where joys will never cease...You are there dear friend in Paradise. Love, Ozzie
